BC29 Lighting upgrade ?

[Marine1]

When upgrading the BC29 hood to the 4.36 144w from nanocustoms, what bulbs do you recommend getting? 2 50/50's or 1 10000k / 1 actinic blue??

Oh yah, can someone please give me their opinion on which is a better light set-up; the upgrade from nanocustomers to 144w or buy a 150w sunpod??????

I would go with the 150 watt sunpod. Reason being is that (A)metal halide dominates power compacts, (B) metal halide will penetrate to the sand bed much better than the PCs, (C) sunpods rock!

If you do go with the 4 PC's though, I would suggest 2 10,000k and 2 true actinics... if you have two separate switches for the lights, you can run the 10,000k's on one switch and the actinics on the other to allow for a dawn/dusk effect.

The Sunpod has blue and white LED's that allow for a similar effect. The whites are on a separate switch from the blues.

HTH,
