I ran VHO actinics off an icecap 660 for a while with my 10K halides and really liked the color I got from them. Only reason I am not using them now is using 20K bulbs cuts down on the electricity bill.
I have used PC 10K and actinics and liked the VHO much better, the bulbs definately last longer than 6 months (I have run some for 12 months no prob, ) and are $30 each.

i can't seem to tell the diffrence betweem no actinics and vho's. the no's are 15 bucks a bulb and only use 40 watts of power. the pc actinics i used to run seem to die between 6-8 months, im super happy with my switch over to no's.

I used to run VHO actinics, then switched to NO actinics now I am back to VHO actinics. NO actinics didn't cut it for power or for the amount of actual "actinic power" even when overdriven. I get about 2 years out of my VHO bulbs as they are only for looks.
