odyssea replacement BULBs

2t2_crash · 09/04/2009, 06:18 PM

Alright, we all know many don't like/trust the odyssea light system, many of us use them with no problem. This thread is to help those of us who happily use them discuss replacement bulbs.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE USEFUL INPUT PERTAINING TO THE BULBS PLEASE DON'T CLUTTER THE THREAD!

I have been using my system for a couple years and am embarrassed to say I haven't replaced the MH bulbs yet.

What are you using in yours? I am looking to purchase two new 250w 15000K bulbs but am not sure exactly which ones to get. I am running the same ballasts it came with.

for replacement Actinics I went through Marine Depot, I'll post the info in a while.. I have to go outside and look at the old package for it.

You can't go wrong with Phoenix 14,000K's check out http://www.soslightbulbs.com/ that's the best deal i've come across. As far as compatibility, I think any bulb of the same wattage will fit in the fixture.
