Hamilton makes good lighting systems. I have been using a Hamilton system with 2 x 250 watt SE with 2 x 96 watt compacts for about 5 years. It works great. I like it.
I know they build their lighting systems in the US - that may be one reason why it has lasted so long. |

I have a SunPod over my 29 -- 250 version with a Phoenix bulb. Over my 75 I have a Hamilton fixture, 250 watts times 2 with the Phoenix bulbs. I am pretty sure it is protostar, but not sure since I bought it used.
Anyways, taking into account that the 75 has two bulbs, there really isn't much of a difference in brightness.
