MH bulb help

[md fishes]

Has anyone used the Hamilton 400W DE HQI bulb? I was going to get the 14k version.

Any opinions on any the DE Hamilton Bulbs?

Thanks!

I've got the 14k hamilton De in the 150w flavor. The color isn't bad, but I"m running it on a magnetic HQI ballast and it doesn't burn as blue as I would like. If you haven't already gotten one, I highly recommend an electronic ballast to get better color. Honestly, it looks a little yellow to me now. I have a 20K on the way. I have some pics of the 14K, let me dig around a little.

I used the 250w version and was not impressed with my growth rates under them . I ran them with a SLS magnetic ballast . I changed bulbs to the phoenix 14k , liked them much better for growth and the colors just pop .
