i was wondering what bulb should i use if i want more blue light right now i have 3 250watt 10000k bulbs and 4 96watt compact actinic. i am a fan of more blue light. thank you

The closer you get to 20k the bluer the light will be. A lot of people like the 20k radium bulb at 250w

If you get the radium though, be sure to read the specs and make sure the ballast matches. They don't burn correctly on regular electronic ballasts.

I think i have 16k 150w MH and 2 96w PC, they look very nice, but to get the "glow-PoP" i think T5's are better. You may want to get 20k MH bulb

If you find Sanjay's lighting guide enter your ballast and bulb watt; any bulb that he doesn't give a K or temp rating for will be in the spectrum that you seem to want.
