Are Radiums EVEr going DE?

[Bolo Tran]

I'm running double ended right now but I love the look of the Radiums. Unfortunately, they're not available in DE. I'd hate to switch SE to accommodate the bulbs Is there a forseeable future that this might happen? Any reason why these aren't available? I think it would really expand the marketplace for the manufacturer. Any ideas?

Check out the Helios bulbs, very similar, but they have DEs.

Really? That's very interesting. I've never seen a Helios 20k lit tank before. Does it have the nice "pop" that radiums have?

They have out the radium DE 150 watt which looks great hopefully they will come out with a 250 watt DE radium as I really want to run that bulb.

Thanks for the link. That is great news to my ears. Unfortunately, I don't understand german. Could you tell me when it is coming to the states? Thanks!

I was told by someone very high up in the aquarium industry that the aquarium industry is not enough demand to warrant the development of a Radium 250 watt DE. Therefore there are no plans to make one.

i use to say the same till one day a few of us were in a disussion on another board and a guy posted a link to the radium site and sure as shitt it listed a 250de20k radium i thought i had bookmarked that site let me see if i can find it

Turnonut. I'd love to take a look at the link if you've found it. I'm just cossing my fingers that his will happen in the near future as I am really weary of having to get a new pendent to upgrade to radiums.

I wrote to Radium in Germany last July and asked whether they made or had plans to make 250W DE bulbs. Bad news, answer was no with no plans to produce them:

we do offer 250W versions but with a different base (Fc2). There are no plans for RX7s!
