    12k reeflux are good SE bulbs on electronic ballasts, but arent as good on magnetic.

    I've just switched over from 250W Hamilton 14K to Blue Life 14K. Their not as blue as hamilton's and they run about $10 less. I also use magnetic ballasts and haven't had any probs w/blue life.

    No problem. I was just never really happy w/Hamilton's 14K's. Just too much blue IMO, plus numerous performance issues. Have you had any issues w/Hamilton's products lately? I just hit a patch w/them where bulbs were failing left and right, orders were received w/incorrect bulbs, etc.
