Reeflux 250W 12K Bulbs?

[falconut]

Are these bulbs any good? I am looking for something a little bluer than my current XM 10K's, but don't want anything close to the 20K look. I am running a M58 magnetic ballast if it makes a difference.

Thanks.

I'm running electronic ballasts, but I love the look of my Reeflux 12k's. They started out a little blue, but have since burned into a nice white/blue look. They are perfect for me without running any supplemental actinics. My corals seem to be pretty happy with them as well.

I've heard from many people that the Reeflux bulbs look yellow (or yellow'er) on magnetic ballasts... They are always recommending electronics.
