It's TIME!!!
Okay the Tax return is in the bank and now it is time to replace my bulbs! According to Sanjay's site and research, it looks like the XM 10K is going to give me the most PAR for my ballast. I am planning on ordering these, but I want to make sure I am not missing anything else.
Just to make it easy, I have the IceCap HQI ballasts 250 watt and the PFO "spider" reflectors with Mogul bases. Any other opinions would be most appreciated! Mike |

Coral Vue 10K's. According to Sanjay's charts I better be careful when I put the new bulbs in. The XM's have TWICE (almost) the output!
