CJohnson Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So for all the metal halide guys out there, I have a question. What brand do you recommend for bulbs? I am looking for a 20,000k for my 250w metal halide. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Can't beat plusrite bulbs for price. The 20k bulbs are closer to 14k but still give a nice color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohnson Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have a 14k bulb right now. What do you you think about Radium bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Radiums are the gold standard for metal halide bulbs. You can't go wrong with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 +1 If you have a minuscule budget go with plusrite. In the realm of single ended bulbs currently though, radium paired with the m80 ballast is king. Not worth it to save $10 by going with other single ended bulbs (xm, reeflux, ect) in my eyes. Unless of course you go plusrites. You're looking at a $65 difference there per bulb vs radiums Double ended is a whole other story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
