Has anyone used Helios metal halides. I just bought a 400 watt 12,500k bulb. It is very bright and the color is very white, but I am having a hard time finding others who have used these bulbs. I have done searches on reefcentral, but find no info.

Here is their website... http://www.commodityaxis.com/ProductData.aspx?id=57

I've  heard good reviews, but for those prices, I would have reconsidered some of the proven tested brands that are highly reguarded and reasonably priced.

I was ordering an Iwasaki bulb, but the LFS was having some problems with the order. Since my corals were dying, they sold me the Helios bulb at cost - which was well under half the retail price.

I have seen some test results from Sanjay on reefcentral that show 250watt helios bulbs have PAR ratings off the chart. The prices are a little high...maybe why they aren't as popular
