How can you tell me that I alway try to copmapare iwasaki whith other? you did. I only try to show you that you are rong. in stating that a 150 will
blow away any 250 watt + comparing as you do a 150 whith a reflector to a 250 whitout on is comparing orange whith orange?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have show you from the mouth of Sanjay that this is copletly false but you dont want to admit

As for HQI refering to DE HQI vs mogul a MH is completly false HQI is a trade mark from Sylvania
from bulb that are not even DE but mogul, but all europeen call there bulb HQI single ended or DE double ended. Same compagny DE or mogul are the same bulb but whith different socket DE are made for Europe home and comercial mogul are made for industrial That the only difference but most of the time american run mogul whith regular ballast and those bulb are not made for this they should be run whith the exacly same ballast that a DE.

as for the other 250w bulb like mogul sunburst, radium blue line and ALS you can not commpare them either because they are not true 10k but super blue bulb

the only other bulb that last are BLV Ushio and
Aqualine DE or mogul those are from the same class

Now if we go with the numbers Sanjay got from his test is was 140PPFD/PAR for the 250 iwasaki and 128.8 PPFD/PAR for a Ushio 10000K HQI NOT a AB DE as you stated. in fact the 110 you reported for the AB was for a normal AB 10000K MH bulb not a DE HQI

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Do you have the anual 2002? I tink you should point your nose in those number are from there but you are right the AB was a mogul but it will be same result whit a DE
they are the same bulb
