What makes these bulbs so great is that ,usually you sacrifice par for color ,I find these bulbs to be a happy medium & also the bulb does not loose spectrum & intensity as quick as some other brands. Here is a comparison of Aquaconnect 14k DE on Icecap Vs Geissmann 20k DE on Icecap  on Pfo  as you can see it spikes a bit bluer & also has more than twice as much par. after using this bulb for a while I noticed better color because of the new spectrum & also more intensity,many others have reported the same. I think Rob here runs one & a few other people as well. In Alberta Golds carries them Bay side corals in Sask Hidden Reef/J&l I will update you guys when they land Regards Jason

i am currently running 3 400w aquaconnect 14k on lumen max 2 reflectors and these bulbs rock. i would totally recommend waiting til you can find the bulbs. i get amazine coloring of new sps in a week or two. i do not run actinics to supplement because the color range of the lights are amazing and give an awesome look to the tank. i had kind of expected too much blue with 15k but it is not the case with these. i forgot to mention i'm running them on icecap 400w electronic ballast. on sanjays sight they get an excellent par rating when used with the icecap ballast and i believe slightly better when using HQI ballasts but dont quote me on that.

Unfortunately I'm only running 1 Aquaconnect 400w 14,000k on my middle bulb while I wait for the 2 remaining bulbs.
Not a fair comparison, but the end bulbs are XM 10,000k, which are very yellow  The Aquaconnect bulb gives a nice white, balanced look, not too blue as you would expect. Very natural looking!

One of my new 14000K Aquaconnect bulbs is really yellow, even after 3 days of burn in
 I don't mean like a 6500K yellow, but real yellow, even my rock looks yellow! Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? Will it eventually even out to look like the other bulbs?

Going to pick up mine this week, so couldn't say for sure. I heard and read that they are on the blue side until after a few days of burning in. You have more than one ? Strange that they aren't the same color. I would check with where you bought it and see what they have to say.
