WTT(ry) your used 250 SE MH Bulbs

[ben&bobbi]

Looking for some, prefer 3 of your bulbs you are replacing. I am looking for Hamilton 14Ks and reeflux 12k's. I won't be putting them in right away, so these can't be ones you want back next week.

I know most of you throw them away. we just want to see for color comparison before buying new bulbs.

You won't be able to get a comparison from used bulbs. I have been using Hamilton 14k for a few years, and the difference between a new and used bulb is huge. I recently switched to Hamilton 20k, and i love the 20k. The difference between the 14k and 20k isn't much at all. The 20k just looks like the 14k did with a 65w pc actinic supliment. My corals seem to like the change even more than i do. IMO you can't go wrong with the Hamilton bulbs. They are elways easy to find, and always consitant in collor. The 14k's are verycrisp white with just a touch of blue, and the 20k's just look like the 14k's with an actinic sup.
