![]() When I had my 155BF with SE 250w MH I decided to give it a good on eBay for some bulbs. I forget the brand name of the bulb but I got what they classified as a 14000k and I must say they where a very nice white, not yellow at all. I am looking at getting 2 new MH fixture and I plan on ordering 4 new bulbs from the eBay seller I got the last ones at 14000k and also a 10000k & 22000k or actinic to see what that is like.

![]() Update: Well the XM bulbs overall are very nice... the 10K's have whitened up quite nicely. I will say they are not as intense/bright as the Ushio's, but again now my upstairs doesn't look like a grow-op from the outside.
The XM's have a nicer spectrum of light, nice intensities without overpowering or washing out the tank. Just thought I would let you all know.
