Yeah philips cmh bulbs are really tough bulbs/ ah those in the link(850w) are the energy advantage bulbs(very good) I use the 330w/205w versions of that, they ONLY run on MH magnetic ballasts but are better than their hps versions due to more lm/w(higher CRI) and less electrical draw with a longer useable life.....I buy mine at the local electrical supply store for $58 for the 315w bulb but you can buy them here if you want
http://advancedtechlighting.com/cdmallstart.htm great info on these.....and they blow away the hortilux blue for half the price....oh and it's open fixture rated unlike the horti and most mh bulbs/ even GE cmh need to be in closed fixture, robbing you 15% output.
the new 315w agro elite is a different beast.......uses a digital ballast/can be dimmed/ less draw than the older ^^versions but puts out way more red/less yellow and green (which we want

Cycloptics technology makes advanced vert reflectors and makes a complete package(all bright) with the new philips cmh bulb/ballast/reflector.....not yet for sale for consumers(sucks)
www.gel.usa.....which makes the ceramatek ballast packages, includes the bulb/ballast and lamp adapter(too fit standard mogul bases)....no reflector( can go bare bulb if you want) and no mogulbase/cord to plug into the ballast ( I think, you need to contact them for specifics).....which should be for sale any day now/ ill know more when I get a reply to my email.....
Pinball wizard's cmh grow was not a specific thread(that's why I guessed his strain) but rather he posted pics of it and small info in the huge cmh thread at ic@mg around pg 285-286........
