How do I make sure how many kelvins is this lamp?

I found this lamp at my home which is about 120cm long (fluorescent lamp)
On the frame: TL2001 28W 220-240V 50Hz
On the bulb: FSL F28 T5/CW 06 10 ROHS
I only see it's 28W, but how many kelvins then? How would I make sure if it's in the right range of color temperature? I want 6500k.

If it doesnt say anything on it, most likely its in the 3000k-4000k range. Turn it on while its daylight. If the bulb looks orange tinted, it a low kelvin bulb, if its more blue or just white, 6500k or higher. Lumens should be fine, but the spectrum is most likely off.

It's really cool white to my eyes though, but I can't just trust my eyesight on this matter. I'm going to buy lighting in about 10 hours, and I will have to make sure if I'm going to get 2 lamps or just 1 as if I may be owning 1 right type of light already.
One lighting is going to cost 35 EUR for me, so it would be pretty nice if I could use the one I already have. If only I could somehow figure out how many kelvins it is.

pointing out an idea: maybe I could take this lamp to some guy somewhere who could measure the color temperature with some kind of tool.
Is this possible and where/what should I go/look for?

Dont spend the time on it. Buy the right bulbs. Who knows how long that bulbs has been used for. Could be half dead by now.

dude, you can go to walmart and get the bulb you need in a 2 pack for 5 bucks, or you can get a 24" ballist with bulb for $8

First I will have to get in America in order to do so.. and that's not what I'm going to do 
I'm in Europe. But I guess I'll have to get 2 of these then. I don't know why they're so expensive here. I'm not going to waste time ordering either.
Thanks.
(In my case I have only one monotub and I figured I'll need to install 2 lights, because my lid doesn't let light through.. so I gotta put them to the sides)

That is about it. At least they have not gotten a single dollar of my money in over a year. I did not realize how big the problem was and how little walmart cares about its employees, its customers, the environment, the communities they are build in, or anything other then making massive profits year after year. The second I realized them for what they are I stopped shopping there.

Quote:
as I understand it from charts and converters 50Hz=5000kelvin temp
Mind sharing these charts and converters with us?
From wiki:
Quote:
The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the frequency at which alternating current (AC) is transmitted from a power plant to the end-user. In most parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although in the Americas it is typically 60 Hz. Current usage by country or region is given in the list of mains power around the world.
During the development of commercial electric power systems in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many different frequencies (and voltages) had been used. Large investment in equipment at one frequency made standardization a slow process. However, as of the turn of the 21st century, places that now use the 50 Hz frequency tend to use 220-240 V, and those that now use 60 Hz tend to use 100-120 V. Both frequencies co-exist today (some countries such as Japan use both) with no technical reason to prefer one over the other and no apparent desire for complete worldwide standardization.
Unless specified by the manufacturer to operate on both 50 and 60 Hz, appliances may not operate efficiently or even safely if used on anything other than the intended frequency.
I do not understand how you can tell the Kelvin rating of a floro tube using the 50hz utility frequency as a variable, seeing as entire country's receive there power at 50hz, does that mean all floro lights operating in that geographical area are all 5000K?
I just do not think so.
