![]() So.......I'm running a Giessmann 250W DE fixture with an Icecap ballast and 13K Giessmann bulb and would like it a BIT bluer. I am coming up on the one year mark for the bulbs and am wondering if going to the Giessmann 14.5K is gonna be any noticeable difference or should I go to thier 20K or a different brand completely. I am just kinda scared that the 20K might be TOO blue. There are also 4 actinic T5s in the fixture.

![]() Personal observation, you wouldn't have to look very far to find people that would agree with me though. I would love to do a test with the same bulb and different ballasts but I don't have the gear. Based on the published data for single test output on HQI vs electronic you can see that HQI ballasts drive the bulbs harder so it makes sense.
