I did color com parson shots of all there 250 watt bulbs, I found the 20K one lacking in PAR and almost no difference in look from there 14, which had decent PAR output. I was using there bulbs as I had a deal with the owner but he reneged on our deal and disappeared, so while there bulbs are a cost effective bulb I find the company its self rather unscrupulous and I cannot recommend them to anyone anymore.
