If you are going to be going with a 10k-14k look, I would recommend looking at the 250w DE Giesemann Megachrome Coral bulb. It is a little on the expensive side, but if you are looking for the "Pure White" look to supplement with T5, it is hard to beat. I ran one for quite a while on my cube, but found myself craving more blue
