I'm sure this may seem like a dumb question to many of you. I have a Hamilton Ballast and currently use 175 Watt Hamilton 20k bulbs. The current bulbs have been in for 9 months now, and I'm planning on getting new ones and switching to 14k. My question is this: do I have to use Hamilton bulbs, or can I get any brand of bulb?

Use this to find what bulbs work on your ballast

I see. Thanks buddy.
It looks like the only other bulb I could use on my ballast (for the intensity that I want) would be CoralVue. Do you have any links that compares bulbs?

You just pick 2 bulbs and 2 ballasts to compare to each other.
