yes I have tried the 14K bulbs (250 watt though) and they are more like a 19K in my opinion. I have just put 100 hours on them to break them in and tonight I put the 10K bulbs in (yes I bought two 20K two 14K and two 10K befor christmas to run trials on)
as for the 20K bulbs I would say they have a touch more purple than the radiums but the 14K remind me of a radium a lot.
now these are the 250 watt versions but the colors should be the same.
next week I will be doing PAR comparasons and the like as all the bulbs will have 100 hours on them and be broke in.
