CV Reeflux 10k bulb

Great, thanks. That seems to be one of the ballast that gets the most par out of the bulbs.

Please note Sanjay's spectrum of these bulbs. You are getting almost no 420 nm light from the bulb. No 420 nm is probably going to result in less color pigment production in your SPS unless you are using a ton of actinic VHO.

Got it covered ;)

i know this is about the reeflux 10k bulb, but i thought id post a comparison pic of my 4 month old XM 15k and my new CV (regular) 14k. just as much if not more color with the CV and considerably brighter. BTW, changed because i have had 2 of the 3 XM bulbs i bought 5 months ago crack or just quit working. just cant afford to replace bulbs that often! it isn't quite that blue in person.

Good call Ace. Same here with several breaking or just burning out.....very early!

just an addition, three of my clams that were not opening as much as they should are now opening up fully with these new CV bulbls, and the definitely have more color.
