quick ? about hps lights

i am about to order a 250 watt hps bulb and a ballast for it and wanted to know if it matters if the temp of the bulb is 2000k instead of 2700k. i plan to use it for flowering. does anyone know if $70 is a good price for this or should i look some where else. and just to let you guys know i will also be using cfls as well. thanx for the help

no its kelvin tempature for the bulb.Hps bulbs range in 2300-1900kSo yes your 2000k bulb will be good for flowering also 70 dollars is a great price.

no problem.if theres a link to those lights and if u would like to share with us post it. (im quite sure alot of people will find a 250 hps for 70 dollars useful).Good luck growing
