Bluest 14K 150 watt would have to be the Phoenix, for 20k I'm riding along here with you.

I believe AB has always been the winner of the bluest category

BryanJ, are AB bulbs made by BLV? I was looking into the 20K BLV bulb or possibly the 14K Phoenix bulb. I want the bluest bulb out there because I do not have actinic supplementation.

I dont' know about the 150 but I have the 250 DE HQI Phoenix 14k and love it. Here is a pic I took a few weeks ago when it first came in. It only has a few hours burn in on it though. It has lightened up some and has a little more of a violet hue now.

Does that picture have any actinic supplementation?

As far as I know yes they are. Ushios and BLV's are also the same.
