Probably the lowest tension flats out there are the TI Flats (Thomastik-Infeld). If you want to go with just a bit more tension than the TI's yet still be not too tight, I suggest you try the LaBella 760FL set. I loved the TI's for a good while but eventually decided they were too floppy for me, then I switched to the LaBella 760FL set and I'm liking these a lot.

In my experience, Chromes (even the lighter gauges) are still in the high tension range, though you may find them to be lower in tension than the Steve Harris set.

I think anything is lower than the Steve Harris Set. I have been thinking about a light gauge set of Sadowsky flats but have not bought them yet.

I can go from Fender 9050ML's to Chromes with the Chromes feeling floppy as heck in comparison for a few days...
