How many 400's are you running?? Your right those are some very bright bulb's.Radion bulbs come to mind but they're 20k produces allot of blue.Have you tried pulse right.I know they are a cheaper bulb but they produce allot less par. But running 400 watters it is alway's hard to get the par levels correct unless you have a very deep tank.Ever thought of stepping down to 250 watt ballast's.Depending on how many pendants you have hanging that might be a better match for a 180.
Thought about it for a while and figured what the heck! Ordered 2 plusrite bulbs, pulserite (different spelling) is probably the same thing and just a common typo/misspelling. I ordered 2 bulbs, one 14k and one 20k in 400w. Plusrite bulbs seem to have more positive than negative feedback on most of the reefer sites.They are actually stamped with the company name and are boxed in a company labeled box unlike some of the bulbs from "trustdeals" on ebay that come in a white box with not a mark on them. Does that make a difference? Maybe only in my mind but we'll see. $31 shipped for both bulbs, hard argument there. What they don't have is a Sanjay type study on PAR! So anyone willing to take a reading or two on these once they are in?
