Post Any good 175W MH Bulbs

Just wondering if any good brand bulbs that have full spectrum that come close to the radiums?

Iwasaki 175 watt 15K is a good bulb but it no where compares in color to a Radium which it sounds like you want. Iwasaki 15K is very white with just a touch of blue.

The 175 watt 20K bulbs that I have used which I liked their color were XM 20K and Hamilton 20K.
