Great Bulbs by NICHOLAS SADAKA

Comments: These bulbs seem great to me. I'm not one of those people who are consumed with the color the light gives off, only how my photosynthetic creatures respond with growth and so far, so good in that regard. I would definitely purchase and/or recommend these bulbs again. Thanks for the recommendation from customer service (Steve and Robert are great!!!) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I THOUGHT AFTER RUNNING 400 WATT 10KS ON HQI BALLASTS, THAT I WOULD BE A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. BUT, I'M ACTUALLY AMAZED THEY LOOK SO GOOD AND I'M RUNNING THEM ON BLUELINE ELECTRONIC BALLASTS. THEY ARE WHITER THAN THE 400'S WERE. MY SPS'S SEEM TO BE GROWING JUST THE SAME WITH ALOT LESS ELECTRICITY AND HEAT. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

It works... by Skippy

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/17/2008

Comments: I purchased this bulb as an exchange for very finicky USHIO 175W / 10000k bulb (Item # MB4413) that refused to light-up at all. XM bulb works, color is fine, but I had to drop my light from about 13" down to 7" from the top of the aquarium to get a decent light(but not as bright as my previous USHIO bulb). I think I am going to get the second XM bulb and run 2 of the m in order get back to the level of light that my corals are used to. Also, be aware that XM bulb is somewhat longer than USHIO equivalent. For most of you it may not be a big deal but with my cone-shape lights, it forced me to forget about putting a glass shield in the enclosure. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

XM, still a great value by jabloomf1230

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 10/24/2007

Comments: Excellent, with nice blue-white color. These bulbs last about 18 months of 8 hour days and then they either lose brightness or even an electronic ballast won't start them. Why pay more from a 250W/10000K bulb? Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: A little yellow for my taste but they're only 10,000K, so what should I expect. So far they're great though. No complaints. I've had them for about 2 weeks now and we'll see how it goes. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Best Par by LobsterOfJustice

Comments: I have had good experiences with this bulb, and it has one of the top 2 pars of 250w lamps (depending on ballast). Mine is white, maybe A HAIR yellow after a while. Using actinics will balance it out. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
