iwasaki 14K 175W

[jmaneyapanda]

Has anybody tried or seen the 175 watt Iwasaki 14K MH? I have been desperate to find a bulb over 10K that isn't somberly blue (like they all are). This one claims to be. Any users?

how far up into blueridge are you, I'm in Buford and have a 150w 20k aqua2 iwasaki in my sunpod. Pictures all depend on the camera and more so on the photographer.. and you know what say abut opinions.....
you are welcome to see for yourself.

I'm planning on trying those bulbs next. I currently run 2X175 XM 10,000K's and I love the power but I wish it would have just a little more blue to it. It's hard to beat the XM 10,000K par levels but the new Iwasaki's did it by a good margin.

i run one over my frag tank. it started off just perfect, white with a hint of blue, after it has burned it it lost most of the hint of blue and is now just white. very good bulb choice if you want something very crisp white.
