Availability of Radium bulbs

[lastlight]

I have two of them. So far I think I'm going to just grin and bear it since I don't have a budget for experimenting with bulbs. I am more curious how this will affect growth than I am grossed out by the colour.

I think many of the people claiming these bulbs appear to be a white look are running electronic ballasts.

Brett, one thing I've found over the years is not to go for too much growth. It'll happen, and the sooner everything grows, the sooner you have to start chopping. Radiums take a bit longer, but I love the color and I'm happy with the slower growth...

Brad I know =) Had Radiums been available when I was doing my recent BRS order (where I usually get my Radiums) I'd definitely be running them. I have these bulbs now though and I sorta need to make do.

For my 400s, I might try the Ushio 14k. I used to run the 10k, and they weren't too bad, so the 14k might do it. Or the 20k, I'd have to see them first.
