Ordered 2 of the 15K 250Watt DE bulbs and they arrived the other day. Quite impressed, both bulbs match in color side by side and the color to the eye is a crisp white with a tint of blue. They seem to draw less current. Apex shows 7.4 amps for the pair while the Ushio's drew 8 amps. I note they are quite a bit brighter than the Ushio's, guess it was time to replace the Ushio's.

I had 2 Artemis that matched, then one died, which he replaced under warranty. But now the new replacement is bluer (nicer) than the original. So my left and right sides don't match 100% in color.

Probably different burn in times, but yes color matching could be hit and miss with these cheaper bulbs.
