M-Halide bulbs and Reflectors

I am in store for a new bulb and not sure waht brand to go for. I know i want a 15K for the blue/white coloration but am ignorant to life of bulb and quality of light.. I am also not sure what reflectors I have and if they are doing me any good. The system I have is homemade and something I bought from a former reefer so I dont have any clue what he used or how to identify these things.

I use Current-USA 14K bulbs religiously, and I love the look.... you might not hear alot of people taking about them,
But I swear by them...

Thats the problem is they dont have Mogul style MH bulbs. I had a 54" strip by them and it was great I loved it but they just dont have what I need now.
