Hello all, been thinking of this topic a few times over and over, so time to fish for your thoughts, comments, and hopefully pics. Never straying away from metal halides (because I like 'em), I have tried a few different bulbs on my set up. Usually I turn right back to, wait for it..... yep, Ebay bulbs. Before I get ahead of myself rambling, I change these every 6 to 8 months and tend to stick with either a 14k or 20k. Now that I'm bumping up my system from 125 to 240, I have decided that maybe I need to look into a better bulb package (aka different brand and/or kelvin rating). Currently, I run 3 x 250 SE (M58) Ebay 14k backed up by 2 x 160w VHO actinic bulbs (1 super, 1 454), a Hamilton fixture with M58 (magnetic). Below is my set up running these TODAY and they've been on for an hour now (actinic 2 hours). So, if you wouldn't mind, show me your halides and please specify your K rating.

Thanks Y'all.
