Need Mh Bulb Recommendation

[funkyman]

Time for new ones. I use 250 watt SE's. What's the latest and greatest that's out now?

Anyone have any recommendations?

I use the Radium 20K's and really like them.

Jim, I am currently using the new Reeflux 20K's (250W SE) and am really impressed with them. Not quite as blue as the XM's but very bright and the PAR rating is a lot higher. Its even higher than the 12K's.

Only catch is I think they need to be run on electronic ballests.

Im running the reeflux 12k's on old mag ballasts. great color.

+1 on reeflux 12 k. I like balance of white with slight blue it gives off.

Radium 20k's here on a Galaxy 2x250 ballast. I am about due for new bulbs. I am going to try Aqua Connect 14k's next. Really like the Radiums...I just want to try something different.

I'm using the reefflux 250 12K's on my 300 and I am happy with them.

I use the icecap Calfo 14k bulbs on icecap elect ballasts and happy with them.

I run 2 250w Reeflux 12k DE on a magnetic ballast and I'm happy with the balance of color. PAR ain't bad either.

I like the blueness of the phoenex 14k.

Went with the Reeflux 12 K's. Thanx for everyone's input.
