Dual arc bulbs vs hps

Has anybody ran these dual arc bulbs & found them to be better then the hps in flowering?? I understand you will give up some yield running the dual arc because of the lumen output but will it be a huge decrease in yield? I'll sacrifice some yield for quality any day! I don't want opinions from people who have never used these bulbs just growers who have please...thanks.

Come on somebody out there gotta have some input!

Ok I've typed this message about 5 times now and the forum keeps eating it. Short irritable version.

My setup
6x6x7 grow area enriched co2
2 x 16" oscillating fans
2 x 8" inline duct boosters
2 x magnum xxxl reflectors
2 x 1000w ballasts
2 x 1000w hortilux superblues
4 x 4 table (E&F)
2 x 40 gal res.
20 x 20 net pots


I love these I tried them out about 6 months ago and haven't gone back. Sure you lose some lumens, but I am getting more and closer nodes and higher quality for a minimal yield loss. However I can put these within a foot without bleaching. Since I run straight clones I just use a 12/12 light cycle and the results are just phenomenal.

i've never even heard of that style light.. more expensive?

They actually run about the same as a standard hps.

I use hortilux 1000wt dual arc bulbs and love them , I get more trich coverage than hps and better yield than MH. I also have my plants finish faster with dual arc vs hps , I think it is because the plant don't have to transition from MH to HPS so they flower faster. And they are more expensive mine run $260 a bulb ,they also run hotter than other bulbs.
