    PFO Lighting

    Okay I'm finally going to Halide from Power Compact, I'm bidding on E-bay for a Dual 250 watt system with 48" reflector no bulbs for 200.00 bucks. Sounds like a good deal to me, what I need to know is what bulbs should I go with 10000K or 12000K (I like the Bluish hue)? And has anyone had experience with PFO good or bad....

    Thanks for the input,
    Mike

    Is this new or used? You could get a brand new PFO dual 250w ballast from Marine Depot or Premium Aquatics for $157.95. And Hello Lights sells a 48" reflector for $39.50.

    I've used 65K Iwasaki bulbs and 10K Ushio bulbs. I like them both and prefer the 10K. Never tried 12K bulbs before. I liked my PFO ballast too, but I have switched it out for electronic ballasts and I like them much better because they don't get so hot.

    If it doesn't fit, beat it into submission until it does.

    Wow 154.95 ??? The one on E-bay is new with a 2 year warranty, and comes with sockets and cords, I'll definately check out the sites you listed though.

    Anyone else have ideas on bulb temps?
