What Bulb is This?

I have a 250W DE/HQI bulb that I forget what kind it is and the writing left on the bulb is not enough help- some of it may have worn off. I'm not sure because it has been a while since changing them and I wasn't the one to do it last. I can vaguely remember that it may be a Helios 14K or 20K, or a Hamilton 14K or maybe a Coralife 14-20K?

Writing left on the bulb:

Base of Bulb:
PEC LAMP
MH - 250W/TD
BLUE
MADE IN JAPAN

Up the Side:
5K08

If I need to get a picture I can if this is insufficient.

I also have another 250W DE/HQI bulb which the make and color is unknown. It unfortunately has no writing left on it at all, so I could post a picture of it to help identify it if this is possible.

Thanks!

I took some pictures of them both.

First few pictures are of the bulb with the writing still on it(let's say its B1), the last pics are of the other bulb with no writing(B2).

B1:







B2:

I am going to make a guess here. I thought PEC was the marking on the Phoenix bulbs.

Ah, yes Phoenix is most likely the type now that I think about it. I forgot to mention I did add them a while ago. Still if there is someone who knows for sure cause I'm not completely sure on it.

How about the other bulb?

The PEC bulb is a Phoenix 14K.
