I find the 150DE are fairly blue running on magnetic ballast.
The 250's are more white on electronic ballasts compared to more blue on coralife magnetic ballasts. I think they are great lights with good balance of white/blue

Nearly all of the pictures of my tank in the link in my signature are under 250W 14K DE Phoenix bulbs. I do get good growth for much of what I have but I attribute that to water chemisty more than lighting.

Well I picked up a Phoenix today to test. Can't say i really like it, just too blue for me. I prefer a crisp white with a tint of blue. I find it also tends to wash out the reds and pinks. Think I will return for a XM10K and add my VHO actinic's to supplement.
Or are the Hamilton's less blue.
