i can't seem to tell the diffrence betweem no actinics and vho's. the no's are 15 bucks a bulb and only use 40 watts of power. the pc actinics i used to run seem to die between 6-8 months, im super happy with my switch over to no's.

I used to run VHO actinics, then switched to NO actinics now I am back to VHO actinics. NO actinics didn't cut it for power or for the amount of actual "actinic power" even when overdriven. I get about 2 years out of my VHO bulbs as they are only for looks.
