good comparason info on bulbs

[coldincanada]

Great link! I currently run 2 250W DE hqi 10K's and one 400w Iwasaki 65k. I was considering buying an E-ballast to run the 400w at 10k but I think I'll just get another DE250W hqi pendant instead. Almost the same par as a 400W 10k with 150w less of electricity.

What brand are your 250 watt HQI's? And I think you hit the nail on the head... the 250 watt 10000K is almost the same as a 400 watt 10000K. Comparing bulbs with the same color temp is the important part IMHO.

Anyways I was not trying to confuse anyone and due to some idiots on RC getting banned and all there posts being deleted the one I was referring to is no longer available. The one Stephan posted isn't the one I was talking about.

Having said that, it never seams to amaze me on how people automatically condemn something and refuse to believe specs that have been tested and posted for information. Now I know how Darwin must have felt when he tried to introduce the theory of evaluation so why are you so against people posting factual numbers but rather to help people like myself, who are looking for lights, sort through all the myth and legends.

Hi Steve You know why the tread have been delete? because it was R&B who have post it not a germain that Why gregt have remove it simple as this R&B register on mutiple name and alway try to get people rong or bashing on anyone

Regarding all the Darwin reply you know I feel about the same Steve I am not lying when I said that praticaly all Europeen people tell that this bulb is a softie bulb if you could read french I will get you all the link to the french forum you could even ask them by your self. Here in amerique this bulb is new there it is not and all this mud on the AB is comming from the test of Sanjay in the reef anual 2002 we even have ask to sanjay and he clearly tell us that this is confusing du to the reflector concentrate all the light in a small beam and the other bulb dont have a reflector at all so he said there no way that 150 will beat a 250 or a 400.

I dont want to slam you Steve I only try to Help
people and even you to dont make any mistake maybe that bulb is good but as for now whit all what I know on it
I could only tell people to be carefull whit this bulb

Second I Import bulb and could have the AB for lot sheaper than you see here less than 100$ + 100$ for the ballast M81 and I dont want to import it because I am not very shure about it I and in fact looking more on the side of the Radium and I will try to get Canadian reefer price that even US could not have them. I dont do this for the money I do this to share and make people happy and because I love this hobby so dont hesitate
Steve I will send you all the link and then you will see by your self if you dont believe me

About slaming the Iwasaki I tink if you was doing someting like that you will get your self only
discredit since this bulb is the best for you buck you could have for now I have this one a lot sheaper than all of you get it and already suply some online reefer but I want to find someting better and I tink the Radium is the key if I could find a ballast that goes whit it

Good night everybody and steve I like you because you alway search,argue and to want to know even before to have your reef and I tink most of reefer dont do it and say sorry Im shure you will have succes keep working !

The round is over :D
