I'm not sure if they will or not, but the 150w radiums are a lot whiter than the 250w SE bulbs. They look good but I think they'll need actinic help to make them look like their brighter brothers. I have only seen one in one application, but it was very white. The good thing is it wasn't the slightest bit yellow.

good choice. I do like the KZ figi purple slightly better over the ati purple.

I would think it would, can't remember what the spec ballast is for the 150's though. With hqi ballasts should be white light, with electrinic they are blue looking at least with the 250's they are.

so what would you think the bluest bulb would be for the 150w HQI?
