AquaticLife HID Lights

Does anyone have these lights. I'm confused if they are HID or Metal Halide. Are they MH but with HID bulbs? Will these not put out as much heat?

I have their T5Ho lights and am happy with them. This set looks nice Metal halid - T5HO and LED moonlights. Look at their site it is pretty good.

So is not a real HID system or is it a metal halide?

 

[al&burke]

It is three
1) Metal Halide
2) T5HO
3) LED - lunars

So why does it even say HID if it's really MH?

Because Metal Halides are a type of HID bulb.
