Help choosing a new SE MH bulb

[johnnyblaze313]

I think I've decided I want to replace my current bulbs(reeflux 12k) I have the coralvue e ballasts, don't really know squat about bulbs so any help is greatly appreciated.

I do know I want somthing thats more blue to the eye so I'm thinking 20k.

Will the radiums fire on this ballast? Any other bulb suggestions?

Thanks.

If you turn the nipple of the 12k to the side there more blue.i have the 400w dimmable cv with reeflux 12k when i turn them down its a nice blue.I think the radiums are too blue ,they make a reeflux 20k you might like.

Thanks sw, I have played around with facing the bulb different ways does make a difference. Still just isn't doing it for me though.

I'm wanting to stay away from the coralvue/reeflux bulbs all together this time around, seeing these are my first halides I want to try some different name brands.

Anyone else?

Radium makes a good 20K bulb so does XM.
