Highest PAR 20K 150 watt DE??

[NYReef]

I am curious what the highest PAR 20K 150 watt DE MH bulb is, how it compares to the 14K Phoenix or any bulb that has the same color as the Phoenix with the best PAR. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Cali. Sanjay has very limited data on the 150 watt DE bulbs, but the Radiums look to be the highest PAR with a huge spike in the 460 NM wavelength, I think I'll try one.

I'm not sure about PAR but I've run the 10k Reeflux and the 50k Iwasaki's 150 DE's and I like the color on the Reeflux the best. If you like more blue the Iwasaki is a nice bulb closer to the Phoenix. You need to run them on magnetic HQI ballast to get the best color IMO.
