i decided to swap bulbs today (both bulbs have been burned in)

i was running a reeflux 12000K and for some reason, i think it is too white. some people report it as being a bit too blue, but that may be due to the balast, because i can't detect a hint of blue in it. i have a 150W HQI Current Sunpod fixture. there are no other supplemental lights, just this one metal halide bulb, and a few LED moonlights)

i snapped two pictures, using identical camera settings (white balance set at 10000K, shutter 1/100s, f5.6, iso 400), i did not modify the images in any other way besides cropping and resizing.

can someone recommend me a bulb that is more blue than the reeflux 12000K and less blue than the phoenix 14000K?

i already ordered an aqualine AB 10000K buld (haven't received it yet) as it is rumored to burn at 13000K color. i hope that works out as planned because it's a pretty expensive experiment
