Do you mean the Iwasaki's? The 14K's only come in 175W at the moment. There is talk on RC about eventually there being other wattages but so far I haven't seen them offered anywhere.

But seriously, the 175W 14K Iwasaki lamp kicks some serious butt. It has higher PAR and lumens than some 250W lamps.

Now that I have a bit more time I was able to search up Sanjay Joshi's review on the lamp:

(Search on "Iwasaki 175W Aqua2 14000K Mogul Base")

You can also try playing around on his website:

Tony, the last I read was nipple sideways. I'll try to find that, but it worked in this case.

Interesting, thanks Tony. Am I to assume that is just the mogal base bulbs that have these nipples?

Hi Greg,

I think, as an artifact of the manufacturing process, all arc tubes have the nipples (it's where the inject the gases? I think?), it's just that DE's don't give you an option.
