400 watt bulb choices (Comparison pics)

[CAreefer]

Been trying to find a SE 400 watt bulb that gives the best of all worlds, economy, color, growth, longevity. All bulbs are running on PFO HQI mag ballast and are in LA III reflectors. Pictures were cropped, resized and given about 10% auto adjust in Photoshop. All were adjusted equally. We all know how hard it is to get accurate color representation and I did my best.



First is

Hamilton 14k-Hamilton 14k- XM15k With 320 watts VHO Actinic. All bulbs are 4 +months old.


Same set-up no Actinics


Hamilton 14k - Radium 20k - XM 15k with actinics on.


Same with no actinics


Coralvue Reeflux 10k - Radium 20k - XM 15k with actinics


Same with no actinics



First impressions of the Reeflux is Eeeewwww. The Radium and Reeflux had just been fired for the first time and have virtually no burn in on them. The Reeflux seems to be getting whiter after just a few hours.
