The pic of mine is w/ 14K which I like much better, softer on the eyes, and corals/nems seem to respond better.
I'll look for a pic w/ 10K for comp.

These are 10K, brighter, but a little yellow for my taste.

i agree. the 14ks look much better. i have the 4ft unit that has 2 150w 10k halids and 2 130w pc's attinics. i was thinking that the 10ks would be to yellow and it seems that my thoughts were correct. thanks for the pics.
