I'd like to start a thread about DE250W bulbs. I've been using the phoenix 14K, but when I bought a new one about a month ago, the light output was pretty intense for my shallow reef. So now I just bought an ushio 20K, same bulb as the megachrome 22.5K. Ideally I'd like a fairly neutral blue/white bulb, medium PAR, around 60-70. The phoenix is 88 (on the HQI ballast) and the 20K is 58.

Any ideas? I'd be willing to trade my phoenix 14K for a bulb I'm interested in trying.

I'm running the 14K Hamiltons and have really liked the look of them, even when the actinics are off. I don't have an extra available but it may be worth checking the par rating that they have posted on them.
