First of all, the better MV lamps I've ever seen are those by OSRAM. The osram bulbs are used by Dupla, which is a great reference :-)
The difference between the different references among the MV bulbs are :
- The HQL Super DE LUXE gives 3400 lumen for 80 watts and 5700 lumen for 125 watts. Both have a color temperature of 3000°K which is quite yellow. They have an RA of 60 (the sun = 100)
- The HQL DE Luxe gives 4000 lumen for 80 watts and 6500 lumen for 125 watts. Both have a color temperature of 3200K which is a little less yellow than the SUPER DE LUXE. RA = 57
- The HQL Standard gives 3800 lumen for 80 watts and 6300 lumen for 125 watts. Both have a color temperature of respectively 4100°K and 4000°K which is a not really yellow. RA = 50
The greatest is the temperature of colors, the color is more white (better).
The greatest is the RA, the colors are better seen.
I suggest you to use the HQL Standard by OSRAM.
