Switching back to MH, where and what to buy?

Hi,
I sold all my LED's, and looking to get 4x400w Matal halides, any idea, brand of reflectors, ballasts?
I would like to get 400w radiums bulbs for it.
Thanks

Hamilton is a good company. I am running their 20,000K 250-watt bulbs right now.

Its 96x42x36deep 600gal. Tank split few monts ago, but now is fixed and ready to be field. In the meantime I had time to do few changes, one of them was selling all GHL Led's. Time to go back few steps in technology

FYI:

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2511987

Mine can go from 250 watts up to 400 watts; they are dimmable.

BTW, the links to the ballasts aren't exactly the ones I run. Mine are the 250-400 watt dimmable versions, those linked were the 400-600 and 1000 watt versions.

I was looking for Lumatek's 400w. As far as I know they all go down to 250w. Not sure if they all dimmable
