Does any one use the hamilton 150 watt DE 14K bulb? Any opinions?

I don't have the 150W but have one of their 400W DE 14K. I also have two Coralvue 20K's all on the same tank as well as a phoinex 14K 150W DE on my sump.

As for color, I like the 14K hammy the best. The phoinex is too blue. The coralvue 20K's are nice but not as bright as the Hammy 14K. with that one, you don't really need atinic's other than maybe dawn/dusk lighting.

When I buy new bulbs, I'm probably going with all Hamiliton 14K DE 400W on electronic ballast.
