    IMO in a single end... it's sixes, but in DE, definitely Aqualine for a extremely greater PAR, especially in the 250 watt. I use the 175 watt SE 10k XM's(I recommend act supplimentation...They have a yellowish cast)if running these halides alone. I also run an 250 watt DE 20k AB and love the cast this team of lights leaves.

    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
