Hi, Jeff. Congrats on your LX. It's _the_ camera for night shots.
The TTL will not work on Bulb setting. You'll need to use the LX on Auto for that. Floodlights are usually high-pressure sodium lamps. They emit a rather narrow spectrum which produce an orange/grittybrown/yellow cast. Colour temperature measurements are not very relevant, since the spectrum is limited. In my experience, it's wise to bracket rater widely with this type of lamps. Overexposing will improve the rendering of other colours, but depending on the distance from the floodlight, you will of course risk to burn out some highlight details.
