It's been a bit over 9 months now so I'm in the market to purchase a new bulb for my Giesemann Nova II pendant. I used the one it came with (13,000K megachrome 250w) and am wondering what lamps would work well with this pendant?

I like crisper(whiter) truer colors than blue and I think the 13,000 I had was pretty good color wise.. I'm just wondering if any of you have recommendations on bulbs that have better output or whatnot..

Thanks for any recommendations :) Pictures would be great too if you have any :)

nice.. how does it compare to the 13k in terms of color?

I'm not too sure to be honest. I'm running the 400w SE versions and I love them. They are very white and really give nice colors to everything.

I think they may have replaced the 13k, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
