As i've said, 20ks are not bright enough (not enough par) therefore i don't have enough light. I will go for 10k bulbs when I have a chance to change.

The 14ks bulbs are alright but still, I want more.

It's not really the wattage that matters, it's the intensity. My sps don't color up without the right intensity.

Most of my sps look good but some really high requirement sps don't like to color up.

I've heard the AB10k are good. I want to try them but they are expensive. I will be trying either ushio or ab when i have a chance to change the bulb.

But overall, if I had to do it over again, i would just go for 250W HQI. The price different is not that much and you know you will have enough intensity for sure.

I dunno about the geismann bulbs. Not alot of people run 150watters so it's hard to have good reviews.

Pics? I think I've posted some pics before in the picture forum. If it's not there, I can post it again.
