Nice snag! Too bad they don't have 600W for my system. The only significant difference I saw was that the Eye supposedly lasts 6000 hours longer, but that certainly doesn't make up for the price difference. That is now one of my bookmarks.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . MH and HPS best brand With all the choices of bulbs out there, when it comes time to replace them which bulbs are the best for the money. I have a 400 Watt HPS/MH interchangeable ballast. Right now I am using the ones provided with the kit I bought and they seem to be fine. They did their job for the first hydro cycle. I am not sure how long they last Before they start losing their effectiveness does anyone know? Peace Rating: 5
