The lower gauge ones. Rotosound offers 30, 35 and 40 gauge choices with the E being 85-100 depending which set. I concider the 45 gauge rotos medium light tension. If you like your current brand sound wise but want lower tension, Id say just try a lighter gauge set of those if they offer such.

DR Sunbeams are really low tension (because of their round core) but I don't know where they sit in comparison to the others mentioned here. I do know they are have very low tension compared to stuff like Ernie Ball and D'Addario.
