    Here is a picture of the bulb compared to a standard 250 HQI.. The bulbs are roughly 7"-8" long. The 400 watt bulb is on top.

    I got to see one of these .... too bad my electric bill wouldn't like it. I just ordered myself a pair of Sunlight Supply reef optix 3's to to use to mount two 250HQI's to mount in my canopy and replace the moguls i have now. Guess that will have to due for now :)

    Isn't HQI simply a Euro brand, and the US version/brand is SonAgro?

    Actually HQI is a German term refering to the manufactuer process. Doubled Eneded is the correct term but HQI has stuck with American hobiests. NOt sure about the brand name?
