PC bulbs buying new bulbs for 2007

[islandcreation]

Alright... Its almost been 8 months and my lighting systems bulbs need to be changed. I have 4X96 watt PC bulbs. My question is will I see that much of a diffrence with going with brand name? I usually get Cheaper bulb which are catalina bulbs. Would it make a diffrence to get sunpaq bulbs a more expensive bulb? Thanks

I believe so... for example, with my T5 lamps, I get about twice as much PAR from a name brand (ATI or UVL) than I would from some no-name brand. I have used and LOVE the Sunpaq lamps. The Smartpaq is great.

HTH,
