Thats not the point though, both Ushio and AB make NON-HQI standard mogal MH bulbs and they were used in the tests also. if you look at the page I posted in my last post Steph the only two HQI bulbs tested were the Ushio 250 HQI and the AB 150. All the other AB and Ushio bulbs were everyday ordnary MH bulbs, the 400 watt Ushio and AB are a good example of this.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is where you are totaly wrong ushio mogul or DE is the same exact bulb but without UV shield and different socket they are the same exact inside technologie and made to run on the same exact ballast same as ALL europeen MH bulb HID HQI or what ever you want to call them

Aquarium compagny could tell you wathever you want to sell you someting please dont beleive whatever they said to sale you someting go on the ushio site and compare lumen from DE to mogul of the same watt and kelvin you will be very surprise my friend.

what have made the ting the more confuse is people have import mogul europen bulb and have put them right in there old fixture and ballast but without having matching the ballast. then they clame mogul bulb are not good, this in not the fact THEY ARE TO NUTS TO RUN THEM ON THE RIGHT BALLAST
