The Iwasaki 50000K is my favorite bulb in terms of color. The 50000K looks more like a 15000K. Not nearly as blue as the Phoenix is. Not nearly as blue as true 20000K. It's a different blue too. It's like an actinic - blue. Alone, it is crisp white with a actinic/blue hue and it's not an overwhelming bluish tint either. Alone, it would be considered much more of a white bulb than a blue bulb. Why they call it a 50000K I have no idea. Maybe just an advertising thing.
The supplemention I used only had one, true blue bulb, the ATI Blue +. The T5 super actinics dont overwhelm with their color because the output isnt that great and the Aquablue Special is an 11000K or 12000K bulb, its white with a little bit of a blue tint, nothing like the Blue + bulbs. I used that one because of the Par they have and didnt need another blue bulb to color it up.
The 50000K is pretty similiar in spectrum to that Iwasaki 175 watt bulb with monster par (for 175 watt), with a bit more blue.
