Been a long time since I ran Hamilton's .. like .. I might have been in my 20's still .. wow I don't think I needed to realize that. Anyhow. Ushio's are probably my favourite 10k lamp.  Phoenix 14k might be something you want to try out as well but not much is going to touch the Ushio for PAR in the 250w range, they're really one of the better ones. 
  
Do you know what ballasts are in that fixture? Might make a difference for lamp selection.

 It is the hamilton Belize, and the ballasts are electronic hamilton brand.
