| I have 4 of there retro kits ..2 96w and 2 55w..my bulbs seem to last longer with there kits compared to others..and give a crisper light.they both use the same ballasts="work horse 5".and there reflectors are the best I have ever owned.I never used there bulbs.so im not sure on those..but threw 6 years of use..all 4 of my retro kits are still working great..to where the others quit working long ago.Im new to orchids , so I hope someone else chimes in for your light requierment needs...tho compact flouresent carry a good amount of light.24 to 30" is a far distance. |
