I am looking at purchasing a new 1,000 watt bulb. I am looking at the dual arc Ushio's Hilux. I am using a Lumatc digial ballast. Has anyone used these bulbs? Or what do you guys recommend?

The bulb will be used for flowering

In the instructions they give a recommendation of which type of lamp as well as Brands.. Some HPS lamps don't do very well digital ballasts for the simple fact,that the digital will take the lamp to a higher level. So it's life is shorter than being used with a magnetic ballast.

some dual-arc bulbs require 240 volt...(I don't know about Ushio?)
