150 w DE MH BULDS ????

[RAYRAY]

Any suggestions on manufactor for my 150w DE MH bulb ??? Right now I am runnnig a 14k bulb, which I like but want to go just a little more blue.
I was looking at maybe 15 k or 14.5k (but dont think I will notice the difference in the 14 and 14.5) I dont want to go to 20k which is to Blue.

Any suggestions will be great.
Thanks as always

According to Sanjay's site, the XM DE 15k has a CCT (Correlated Color Temperature - this is the true color of the bulb, not what the manufacturer stamps on the package) of around 14k. That should be about what your looking for as far as color.

What brand bulb are you using now?

right now I am using HAMILTON METAL HALIDE 150W 14K (DOUBLE-ENDED) HQI BULB
thanks for the info I will check them out!!

Sanjay didn't test the Hamilton 14K....just the 10k and 20k so I don't know what the CCT is on that bulb.
