400 Watt MH Bulb Recommendation

[jeffmuse]

I have decided that I am going to upgrade my lights from 250 watts to 400 watts and wanted some recommendations on what are the best brands for 400 watt bulbs. It seems like there are a ton of options for 250 watt DE's, but not so much with the 400's.

I appreciate any feedback that you guys have with the bulbs. Again, I am looking for advice on 400 watt DE bulbs (14k or 20k).

Too bad you don't need the mogul type. I have 2 new Ushio bulbs for sale. I've always heard that Radiums are the best but never tried them.

I love the Radiums... they are what I am using now with my 250 setup. I don't think that they make a 400 watt version though :sad:

My fixture uses the double ended bulbs... not many options.

How much you want for the 400w mogul bulbs? I have a fixture I bought from Mbachota, and could use some new bulbs.....pricey they are.

Yeah, don't I know it. I paid $149 for the 2 I have but decided to swith to LEDs and never used them. PM me a decent offer and I'll ship them to you.
