I can’t be the first to ask this, but I’ve searched high and low and can’t find an answer. I’m not happy with the look of my radions with AB+ or PHX14 Coral lab settings. I miss my radiums (not the heat!) and want to know if anyone has settled on a radion setting to emulate them.
 
I thought the AB+ was developed from radium MH, but i could be wrong.
 
AB+ was to match the AB from ATI bulbs... and modified a bit.

A Radion will never look like a 20k Radium... or vice versa. This is why you cannot find anything. You might end up liking one more than the other, but they will never look the same.

Edit: you cannot match the 14k Phoenix either... or any other MH bulb. Most people cannot tell a difference, but if you can, then you can... and it is not possible.
