What's the best Metal Halide bulb?

[pbuck]

I was just curious as to what everyone thought the best Metal Halide bulb on the market is.

it depends on its application and the color you desire, seems like 20ks are the hot ticket

Ok, what is the best MH bulb for sps and lps? I am thinking about 20k, I am wondering what brand I should buy.

Plum... do you run 20ks with your new 400 set up? If so, is it too blue? When I get the halides, I was thinking about 10ks and supplementing them with actinics if necessary. For some reason I used to think there were 20K halides. Is that true?

 

[pbuck]

yeah it is true, there are 20k metal halides

I have 10ks now, I like the look with my VHO, really looks like sunlight, very bright, 20ks are coming,
