I use a 250w DE and a 400w DE over my display. I do not use actinics and like the colour I get off the bulb.

Cool, not that I have a problem adding some actinics but if I don't need to that will save some money, power and heat.

Used to (250W DE), but switched to Ushio because the Hamilton's were not lasting. One bulb lasted 6 months, and the other two only got a month each before burning out (posted here).

I really liked the colour, was the crisp white with a bit a blue. Find the 14K Ushio look yellow in comparison.

Did find the look with the actinics a little better than just with the Hamiltons alone.
