new mh bulb time

[celebrityovernight]

well, its been a year, so its time to replace my 12k sunburst w/ a stronger and brighter bulb as i'm going more towards sps. i need some opinions as to what will give the most growth and color at the best price. i've looked into the 10k venture bulbs and they look very nice, but i have yet to see any testing done on the bulbs. does anyone here have any experience or knowledge about this bulb's par? thanks in advance

I've seen a good deal of positive posts lately about the new Coralvue Reeflux 10K. It seems to be a good combination of color and par. They are reasonably priced as well.

Yes indeed. I switched from 400W Hamilton 14k to the 10k reeflux and love the new look.

I just ordered the 400W Reeflux 12K's. Going from XM 20K's.

I guess these reeflux are all the new rage

Still love my PHX and par levels are still higher than most are new amd they are 9 months old.

Man what a difference. I raised them 2.5 ft up and they are still brighter then my old bulbs.

How do the reeflux compare to the old bulbs color wise?

I got the 12K and they still have to color break in but right now they a crisp whitish blue.

Cool- I am waiting on 250 watt 12K reeflux to get here...Can't wait!

i just fired up my reeflux 12k 250w bulb a few days ago and it looks identicle to my old hami 14k......we'll see what happens in the long run

I didn't like my 400 se 10k reeflux. I didn't see the same "blue" that I see on my 250de 10k reeflux (which I like very much).

I got mine today and I like what I see so far. I think that when these burn in a little their gonna be perfect!
