Default PC 10K

Anybody have 10K powercompact bulbs. I was thinking of adding 2 -55w to my 2-400 watt Radium setup. Curious as to what the visual color output of the bulbs are.

I like them.. thats all I had untill I got the little 175 watt 10000K MH but I still like the color of the PC. if I had to have only the PC or the MH I would pick the PC as it is a more even ligth and there is less shadows.

I don't recommend adding PCs or VHOs with a radium.. They will fill in shadows and create an unatural effect..

I can't say I have tried pcs and a radium, but I have tried a radium and vho 10k and didn't like it.. Just a hunch the pcs will be similar..
