400w MH bulb for my Lumatek

[Mr.Bill]

Here's the deal, I'm looking for a reliable 400w MH bulb for my lumatek. It's the purple one. I've read that there is compatibility issues with some if not most MH bulbs and this ballast. So I ask, which brand/brands of MH bulbs are known to be compatible with my ballast? I'm not trying to have a flickering bulb in my cab.

Oh and if there is already a link I have not searched please throw it in here. Thanks much.

This should work well. (Link provided with https, for security.)

I googled "400w MH bulb Lumatek" and up came a post from another forum about the standard bulbs from this site working well in their ballast. They had the Hortilux Blue and this one. The Hortilux is known to have issues with Lumateks so I thought it to be this one. Worth a shot and somewhat cheap as well.

I like sunmasters personally

GEC, Grolux, Sunmaster and several others all with no problems, the Sunmaster SON T always goes in for flowering if only the last 3 weeks ... stunning output with the 'overdrive' on

Good Luck

America-thanks, I did that exact google too but I didn't come across that thread. I was really tired though at the time, and was more skimming than anything else. Thanks for the link, I might check that bulb out

Orygun- And you run this bulb with a lumatek ballast with no problem? i.e. flickering, clicking noises and such?

Bush Dr- is this with personal experience or are you throwing brands out at me here. And The Son T bulb is hps with extended blue spectrum, don't need that, I have a nice hps bulb thus the hunt for a workable mh bulb. Thanks though.
