CHUBAKAH August 5, 2010 Share August 5, 2010 I know this was all based on 400Watt bulbs but I'm curious if anyone is using the 250 version of the 20K's and has any comments? Someone who has run the Radiums in the past would be perfect. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, for a lot less, there good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you speaking visually, or do you have a PAR reading? I ordered three yesterday to try them out. I'm hoping that they are pretty close. Having to change out 6 now every 8 to 10 months now might make Momma mad at me. Anyone running the 14k's? Anyone have a reading on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Ward August 9, 2010 Share August 9, 2010 i just bought 2 400W 20k bulbs b/c one of my radiums cracked. i also picked up 2 250W bulbs for my frag tank to replace the 2 radiums when they go bad... but I can always pop them in to get some readings... i'll see what i can do and report back.
