    I'm a huge fan of the Sunmaster Duel Spectrum bulbs...

    i use 4 bulbs regular, all 4 are sunmaster, 400w mh, 600w mh, 600w duel spectrum and a 600w 10k finishing bulb,
    sunmaster are a little more expensive than some other brands like growlux or lumii but i really can't fault em

    I find that the 10 dollar one, or nearly as good as the 50.00 dollar one's, so don't think it makes as much difference as the advertise one's. But just Google Top 10 HPS bulbs, and you can see for your self.

    Sunmasters dualspectrum are great bulbs.... the 10-20 $ ones u can find are just fine also. If you are new to all this, u won’t notice a difference. Lumens, and spectrum are what make a bulb....

    the real red ''sodium bulbs'' are tailored for mid/late flower, a duel bulb is just a sodium with added blue spectrum,
    id buy it and try, if ya don't like the results just try another brand

    Evening lovely people I hope fireworks will entertain you this weekend.
    Q: how many grows should you expect from the bulbs of an HPS set-up?
    I've been told 1(!) for the cheapest and two for the Silvania (similar) bulbs I am buying. I guess I am looking for experienced ensurance because it seems such a shame to throw bulbs that haven't gone pop.
    Thanks for any and all,
    T&B
