Whitest 150 watt 10k DE MH bulb?

[mile sq. reefer]

What company manufactures the most crisp/white looking 150 watt 10k DE MH bulb run on an electronic HQI ballast? Looking to avoid the yellow tint. Any info. appreciated. Thanks, Mile.

I believe that color has to do with the temperature of the bulb, ie 10K, 15K, 20K; each provides a different type of color. 20K is blueish I believe. In order to achieve a white light add on a couple actinics. The blue light from them removes the yellow and the overall color is white.

I was running a 150 DE Hamilton in a Reefstar pendant (HQI ballast) and it was very white, hardly no noticable blue, but not yellow either. Maybe check that one out.
