The Sun in it's center... :-D
More seriously: It would be some high pressure lamp with high power loading, i think some XBO or UHP mercury. But as the radiated power is approximatelly proportional to Temperature^4, the temperature does not differ too much between all HID lamps (except LPS; somebody categorize them as HID as well), it is around 5000K...
