I said "depending on the bulb".. um for ones I have tested ya.. I have tested 4, 400 watt set ups now and they were all lower then what I got on my AB's. I the only one that was close was a iwasaki and I think if it would have had a better reflector it would have been higher. I have not found a bulb that gives me as high as a number as the SE AB's and I would not say this would be true using SA, ushio, XM ect.. as I have not tried those bulbs. But I know the 250 radium run on a HQI ballast puts out more PAR than a 400 watt radium on a son agro ballast by almost 20%.... Steve

So what you are saying is you've tested 4-400 setups? Are you stating that you tested these bulbs at others homes or in a controlled testing enviroment? Using same reflector as well as same distance/angle of bulb to testing device? I never missed any of your quote, I've just never read anything that would suggest your statement is true.

You better be getting a second job for all that salt, or Wendell's paying you too much
