I need to get three new 250 watt bulbs. I run a mogul base and have liked Blue Line 14K's in the past but they are looking a little dark. Wondering if anyone has used a blue yet bright bulb and what it is??

I've yet to see a 10k bulb that doesn't look "yellow" to me, reeflux 10k's are alright but i prefer the look of the 12-20k's

One of the best 250 SE bulbs if you run an hqi or electronic ballast is the radium 20k se, great par and a good bright-blue color.
