Favorite SE MH bulb **poll**

[wetWolger]

What is your favorite SE MH bulb, and why is it your favorite? If you want to specify your ballast that would also be nice.

If I forgot any sorry, there are just so many. Please make a post and let us know what is not on there. Or if there is another reason (ie you voted other because of cost) please let us know why.

p.s. sorry for the earlier post without the poll option

Gah Im the only one that Voted For AB 10K ( 13K ). I have no idea why they say they are 13K .They look exactly the same as my XM 10K's did. Crisp White.

Sorry everyone....and thanks for the votes, lets keep it going

 

[wetWolger]

keep the votes coming

 

[wetWolger]

one last bump....i thought this would be a pretty popular thread, but maybe i am wrong

 

[doody]

I'm gonna bump this. However, I can't vote because I have'nt used MH yet, but I plan on it. I thought it would've recieved a better response too. Maybe it should be posted in the equipment forum.

XM 10K

Color has a bit too much yellow for me, but the growth is phenominal.

I may try 14k whan I replace them.

 

[elephen]

You left out 20k Radiums on an HQI ballast.

Dumb question: I assume this poll is ment for best MH bulb W/out supplimental lighting, right?

that was my idea

I think I may try to make a more complete list on the equitment forum. Would anyone be intrested in that?

 

[fishdoc11]

Ushio 10K with atinics for looks and growth.

 

[wetWolger]

So what this says to me is that if you want a good bulb for growth you want the:
XM 10k
And if you want a bulb based on looks you want the:
Hamilton 14k

Anyone else want to comment/vote on this? Anyong able to post some comments on the AquaConnect bulbs?

 

[mille239]

my vote: XM 15K beautiful alone or with supplementation

 

[doody]

Now what if you're looking for a combo bulb (one bulb for growth and looks)? Do we need an other poll?
