jpluttme (or anyone else for that matter), on what kind of ballast do you run your 12k reeflux? Do you supplement? How would you describe the color without supplementation?

oct2274, I've heard some of the lifespan issues with the Radium are due to the bulbs not being run at spec wattage. I think I'm going to pick up at least one and try it out on a new icecap ballast. For the 250s, Radium's actual spec is 270w and the new icecap ballast is spec'd at 265w, maybe this will help the lifespan. It will definitely run the bulb closer to spec than a regular electronic ballast or a true HQI.

I was actually thinking one Reeflux 12k and one Radium just so I can get good head-to-head comparisons of the two.
