I need suggestions for new bulbs

[Doubledown]

I have 175 PFO balasts with mogul sockets. Current bulbs are almost 8 months old. Which of these bulbs would you recommend?

Aqualine-Buske 10K
XM 10K
Ushio 10K

Am I missing any good ones?

Thanks
Chris

Your best choice it XM. 10k.

Rockstar -

That study was with 250 watt bulbs/balasts, do you think it would translate to the 175s?

If so, I believe the XMs are the way to go. Anybody out there (online or local) running a special on XMs?

Thanks
Chris

I switched from Ushio to AB recently and will go back after these bulbs. The ABs are NOISY... they rattle all day.
