Changing bulbs ??

I have two Hamilton Reefstar pendants with 14k double-ended bulbs. The time to replace the bulbs is fast approaching.

This may be a stupid question, but here goes:

Can I replace the Hamilton 14k bulbs with XM 10k bulbs?

Are the XM 10k (250w) bulbs a good choice for more growth?

I don't have actinic supplements. Will the XM 10ks be too white?

I love opinions. ?

not too white but may be too yellow compare to your halmilton 14k But you will gain more grow with xm 10k.
