i called pa and asked what they thought of the iwaskai 14k's. jason told me they had one running on a tank and it was *very bright*. he said it was a shade bluer that a xm10k but not by much. if i was growing sps with 175's that what i would want i guess. my disply now is all lps and i was looking for more colour so i tried out the xm 15k. it really pops the colour out but time will tell if anything ever grows again.

Dang it Willow, I think you just convinced me to spend some $$$ that I was saving up for other things. I think I'm going to try these Iwasaki's. Oh well, worst case scenario, they won't live up to the hype but at least then we'll know. I'll let you know how they work out (assuming pa has them in stock right now I'm going to go order 2).

Damn, that hood looks exactly like mine . I was going to order some of those bulbs as well. J&L said they were trying to get some in, but had no time frame.

Yes, M57 is probe start.
I know I've typed in the list (of ANSI #'s and their meanings) a few times in the past. Let me do a search .... OK here is one, there is a breakdown of the ANSI numbers in this thread (second post) http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ight=ANSI+M137 HTH

The Iwasaki 14K has been making quite a buzz on RC. I haven't seen pics (which are almost always misleading in terms of what you'd see in person) but from all accounts I've read, it's a true 14K colour bulb (white with a very slight blue tint) with enough PAR to give many 250W bulbs a good run.

You guys missed this thread.
 I've been running this lamp since June.http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25588 I run XM 10k's 250W on another tank, and the intensity is virtually indistinguishable. Not that XM's are no good, quite the opposite in fact, they're a great lamp and I'm a big fan of them. But as good as they are, the Iwasaki is just hands-down the best 175W lamp I've ever run. I regret selling my other 2 M57 ballasts now. I can't wait to see this lamp in other wattages.
