Inside Sun MH bulb for $ 30.00 ???

Mine are doing great, gotten whiter too.
I never run them by themselves though, but I am very pleased with the looks, especially with the actinics or the 50/50 or both.

I have the 175 been running since March no problems if yours look a little yellow check to make sure the nipple on the filliment cover is pointed down it does make a difference on some types of bulbs

Sanjay says it dosent make a difference. Not a noticable one any how?
I think these bulbs are more than likely made tobe fired verticaly as aposed to horizontaly. This would definately account for the color shift when the canopy swings open.
Lose wiring would do this as well though. (IE check your wiring inside the balast box and to the socket, AND the ground wire)

Any one have any experience with the "Plus Brand" 14k 250w de bulbs?
