I might be missing something in sanjays numbers but I think the Giesemann coral 14k out performs the Phoenix 14k by a fair margin.

sanjay has it listed as 13k but the manufacturer lists it as 14k.

Also if he is looking for a 14K because of color he will not get very much blue at all out of that Giesemann

Has anyone here actually ran the Giesemann? I am looking at this bulb intently and would like to know who has some experience... From what I have seen, it is a bulb I would recommend Although I run T5's to add blue if I need to.
