72" VHO question

[prater]

I am looking at the 72" Retro kit from Hellolights and was wondering what bulbs you would recomend. I am planning the 2 bulb system and adding 3 400W MH 6500k to it.
Thanks

prater before you order any bulbs you should look into the new performance series that URI is puting out. These are non-reflector bulbs so you will need a reflector but they are a lot cheaper then the normal URI bulbs. And those internal reflectors on the bulbs do not do much anyway and this is why URI is making bulbs without them.
I run a LFS and I am setting up a new 180 in my house and I am running 3 each of the Aqua D-Light blue (actinic) and Aqua D-light white (actinic white).
Good Luck, Jack

I will check them out before I order. I am still not ready, just getting the list together. I will be buying lights after I purchase two pallets of southdown for everyone here in Oklahoma on a group purchase that I am involved. Getting SD shipped here is proving difficult.
Thanks for the input everyone.
