Uhhh, if by "Lumen ma" you mean "Lumenmax" then those are reflector pendants that don't have anything to do with wattage.
MH setups basically have 3 separate components: ballast, bulb, reflector. A "400W" MH setup uses a 400W ballast driving a 400W bulb underneath a reflector (no wattage). I believe your trouble is that you won't find any pre-packaged 400w MH systems like Coralife's Aqualights, for example. That's because the market for 400w systems is quite small. The most the vast majority of reefers require is 250w. So you have to put together your own a la carte from outfits like Hamilton and PFO. You can do this at pretty much any dedicated SW LFS like J&L: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=pfo-hr48 Last edited by fkshiu; 01-04-2008 at 07:28 PM.

That's only the reflector - nothing else. And Mark is correct, the Lumenmax 2 is the new model that can HANDLE 400w MHs. You'll need to get ballasts and bulbs as well. I run Lumenmax 2 reflectors. There's nothing wrong with mogul (aka SE). In fact, you get more light out of SE bulbs because they don't require an extra glass shield that DE bulbs do. Some people prefer DE because the glass shield is easier to clean and the bulbs are smaller.

Plus, with 400w DE, you'll be very limited in your bulb choices since most makers don't have 400w DE bulbs available, whereas they all make the 250w version which as Fkshiu wrote, is by far the most popular among reefers.
