Yes, you can mix them, but matching 6000K ratings alone does not guarantee they’ll work well together.

Color temperature is only one part of a light’s color. Two lights both labeled 6000K can still differ in:

• green/magenta tint
• spectral output
• color rendering quality (CRI)

Those differences can show up on camera even if the lights look similar to your eyes, and they may make white balance harder or affect green screen results.

The practical answer: test the exact lights together before relying on them. Set up your camera, white balance the scene, and check whether the subject and screen look consistent under both sources. If one light has a noticeable tint shift, mixing may cause problems.

So: mixing CFL and LED is possible, but don’t assume they match just because the Kelvin number is the same.
