Metal halide bulbs

[BHAMR6]

Well its time to change my bulbs but iam not sure which to go with.
I have the current set up.

2x 250 watt PFO ballast
w/th South Pacific Sunlight (sps) 20k bulbs.

I like the look of this bulb but i here alot of good thing about the
XM bulbs. Alot of people seem to like the XM 15k.

So any of you have any opinions on some good bulbs

Thanks Paul

If they are de I like 14k pheonix, if they are se I like radium 20k
I have a set of de 14k pheonix with about 6 months use, a set of current 10k that have been fired for about 20 minutes, and a set of 20k aqua line buschi that have about 4 months use that I can let go of, let me know if you are interested or just want new and I can give you prices

I am looking for a set of 175w 14k bulbs.(screw in) I found some on ebay $40 a set plus shipping. Do you have any of these?Jason

 

[tommy patton]

The only bulbs I have are 250 watt

what do you want for the radium 20k

 

[tommy patton]

I dont have radiums for sale, that is what Im using I was just making a suggestion if you were using single ended bulbs I would go with radiums, and if you are doing double ended bulbs I would go with pheonix 14ks. I went from de to se so all the bulbs that I can let go of are de. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Iam sorry i thought you were meaning you could get the radiums my fault.
I have the screw in bulb, i might give the radiums a try did it give off a nice blue tent.

yes, they are really nice. I have heard good things about a few different screw in bulbs, but the only one I have used and I am very happy with it.
