I use 14K pheonix bulbs, they are very nice and blue... also running 50/50 actinics with it.

If your bulbs are over a year old, I would definately replace... when I did mine, I couldn't believe how yellow my old bulbs where until the new ones were put in.

I have a aquamedic aquaspacelight fixture 2x250 MH + 2 pc.
The previous owner told me that I only need to change the bulb when it starts flickering. true

Definitely FALSE if you want to grow anything.

Not true, bulbs should be replaced once a year.

And if you use low cost bulbs, more than once a year!

I also don't find PC's lasting a year no matter which ones I buy...they really only go 8 months with any strength.
