Reflux 12,000K bulbs?

[Angela Short]

I am in the market for some new 250's and have 10K XM's which are a tad to white for me. I don't like as blue as a 14K either so I am limited and just picky I guess. Anyone useing the reflux 12K or know much about them? Thanks! Someone got the link with the picturs that compare the bulbs and the write up on how they all preformed?

I went to reflux 10K's a few months ago. I felt that the XM's were on the yellow side at least 2 of my 3 were. I wanted alittle more blue but didnt want to lose too much PAR so I decided I'd give the Reeflux a try.

They are slightly more blue than a ushio and alot whiter/bluer than the XM's.

They are not very bright from what I understand but the color is good. Check the sps forum, I recall seeing some discussion of them there.

angela, im not sure how blue is blue to you but i run phoenix 14k's and to my eyes they look like a very crisp white with just enough blue to make the colors pop and not appear yellow. i dont supplement actinics either. just one more option to make the choice harder i guess <~~~steve

The color comparisons are hard to go by because it can depend on what color settings are on your computer's monitor as well.
