Which 250W Bulb

[Skorpinok]

I'm thinking of getting 250w MH SE 14K Bulbs - what brand of bulbs do you use and where did you buy them from?

I'm looking to get a more crisp blue'ish color, so no 10K's.

Thanks....

reeflux 12k. have not owned one but I have heard they are absolutely incredible. will be switching to one shortly.

the par on the 12k reeflux bulbs is pretty low, I would go with a radium or hamilton 14k. If you have no suppliments i would go with the radium bulb to get the best colors.

What about the EVC 250w 14K SE bulb? it seems that it has a higher PAR reading that Radium 20K - per Sanjay's light comparison site.

Any more input?~~~~~~

aquaconnect 14k run on electronics

I would recommend 12k reeflux

yes the reeflux +1

i think the par should be looked at again

I just switched to reeflux from hamiltons and I would have to say I love the reeflux

Radiums smoke them all!

Aquaconnect i would get over a Reeflux also and even Hamilton 14K

I tried the Reeflux 12K and without supps they looks like butt in my opinion

[JACOXVIII]

the reeflux was designed to run on a elect ballast not a HQI
you were over powering it duh
if a bulb is a 250w se and you put it on a go HQI ballast it will run at 300+watt
you think sweet i got more light/par
but you just shortend the life and changed the color to a whiter
I do like the Radiums & Aquaconnect but they are $$$

Well listen here. Mr cocky newbie!

I didnt run it on a HQI ballast, DUH!!!! So please know your facts before assuming, Hows that for a concept?

I have more than 1 ballast.

Radiums would be my first choice
