I like the look of the reeflux 12k 250. It was on the blue side when first fired up but has burned in nicely to a crisp blueish white. The only thing is that I am not convinced of the par or growth...

Does anyone know what the par difference is between the two? I currently have the reeflux 12k and was thinking of switching to the 10k or the xm 10k. What would be the better choice?

I would IMO stay with the e ballast and go with the xm or reeflux. I like the color of the reeflux 12k but not convinced on the par. I am thinking of switching to the xm 10k.
