Lighting upgrade

[peiloy3196]

I am upgrading my mh lights to lumatek selectable ballasts and lumen max 2 se reflectors. I am using 4x 54 w t5's for supplimentation.

I am stumped on my bulb selection for the mh and t5's. I find my current combo too blue (phoenix de on aro ballasts, 2 x blue plus, 1 12k t5, 1 75/25).

I would like a crisp white with a tinge of blue to it. I also want to incorporate a t5 bulb like the fiji to bring out reds.

I have also heard that the radiums are not too blue when on the hqi setting.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are doing 175 watt SE, I would suggest the Iwasaki 175 watt bulb. Nice crisp white with a hint of blue.

Otherwise, most 250 watt 10Ks would be a good choice if you are going to use 4 x 54 watt T5 bulbs. Ushio makes a good 250 watt 10K SE IMO.

Thanks for the help.
Before the Pheonix I ran XM and Reeflux 10K and found that it was too yellow, so I am not sure I want to go back there. Are there any other options? Also what T5 bulbs would you recommend. They are 250W MH's.
