I'll make this as simple as I can. I'm gonna be running a 400w galaxy digital ballast. I bought a hortillux 400w blue mh light. Now doing more research I found theres controversy over whether or not one or the other (hortilux, digilux, sunmaster, ultrasun, ushio....etc. etc. etc) is better for quality, fuller spectrum, more lumens, more lux, NOT blowing up. My question is.... Did I buy the wrong bulb? I was just trying to buy the BEST bulb I could for vegetative state (I'll get to hps later) to run on my 400w galaxy digital ballast.

I'd go with the ushios more lumens than hortilux by a hair. I've heard a lot of failure issues with digilux and the same with hortilux w/ digital ballasts. Ushio claims they work well with digis. So does digilux, but the rate of failure being at a higher rate. This is all information i've absorbed through other outlets. They are not my personal opinion as i'm new to growing and only have used ushios thanks to the advice and reviews of other users who have used a variety.

They're all good brands.
