Ushio Aqualite 14k

[Arthur1]

Just inquiring to see if anyone has positive or negative input of this bulb in 250 and 400 watts. Also, which ballasts used? Is it more of a slight blue/crisp white bulb? Thank you in advance!

I drove my ushio 400w bulbs with 400w coralvue ballast. Just a bit of blue, but nothing too blue.

Thanks for the input. I ahven't seen these bulbs in person and assume being a 400 watt bulb have quite a high PAR value. I tried looking at Sanjay's spectral analysis/comparison of 250 watt SE halides but for some reason can't view them.
