400w SE MH Bulbs?

[sgarron]

I'm looking for a bulb recomendation. I will be running a single 400w bulb in a full size lumenarc on an M59 ballast (I have 2 brand new M59's sitting around). What I want is a bulb similar in color to a Phoenix 14k 250w DE bulb. I don't want to supplement with T5's or VHO's. Any ideas?

Most of us use 12K reeflux and love them.

Thanks Mike, I need to see one in person. The wife is allowing me to go ahead with a new, smaller tank but keeping a tight leash on my wallet. Not gonna let me keep buying bulbs till I find one I like.

If your ever in my area, stop by to see the color.

I may take you up on that offer. Are you running 400's?

We're running 400w 12K Reflux, along with 250w 10K XM's. If you're ever in the Jackson area, we could show you how either of them look.

Yes. (3) 400's. I might even have different color 400's laying aroud you can have to see if you like them.
