So I have a set of gen 4 xr30 pros and curious if anyone has settings that Mimic a 14k halide look? I tried the ab+ and just felt like it was tooo blue haha. I’m sure some would disagree but I guess I’m a fan of the natural look. Thanks all!

Start by increasing your green channel first then the white. Metal halides have a large amount of light in the green wavelengths from the mercury vapor. Start there (increasing green won’t significantly impact your PUR so you shouldn’t experience any sudden bleaching or algae growth), then add white in to taste. Go slow and ensure you’re not going to high on intensity with a par meter. It’s definitely possible to get visually close
