Anyone Using 400W DE bulbs?

[SpecialTang]

Just wondering if anyone is using a 400W DE bulb yet?

I have been looking at a few to see if I wanted to change over to get more par and better K level.

I think Kevin has for some time now, take a peek into his forum.

I talked to Kevin and he said he is using SE bulbs

Hello,
I do have a 400W DE running on my 90 gal. It is a 20,000K Krystal Star from Coralview. I don't have any other supplementation lighting with it.

Regards,
Kevin

I must have been misunderstood. How long does the bulb last and how does it compare to a SE 20K bulb?

Sorry for the delay in answering. The bulbs last about 14-18 months and are much whiter than most 20,000K bulbs.

Regards,
Kevin
