Need Advise on lights

Does anyone have any info on the reeflux bulbs? PAR, life span, etc?

I'm going to need 11 bulbs very soon. I've been using the Pheonix
14k, big disappointment. Very blue first week or so then not so much. The 6-7 month life span is why I want to get a different bulb. So I'll tag along here.
Where's the best place for bulbs online?

Lots of reading. . . 800+ posts :eek1: But some pretty good information on the reeflux bulbs.

If you are looking for Reeflux Bulbs, Rod carries them. Go to his shop instead of buying online!

I think its time to drive to Rod's.....Will take look at the Reeflux he has there.

Thanks for all the input here!!!!!

I just bought 3 250w SE Reeflux 12K's from Rod's this afternoon. I have been running the Reeflux 10K's on a 250w HQI ballast (M80) with 2 VHO actinics. Very nice color. Much more white/blue than the XM 10K's (which I replaced prior).

I am going to the 12K's simply b/c I want a little more blue. I will definitely give up par though, but I think the color will be good. Thumbs up for Reeflex bulbs and Rod's Reef.

btw - I think Rod sells the bulbs for less than what you can get them for online after shipping.
