Info for buying new cfls Dual spec or one of each?

[indochronic]

im gonna need new bulbs soon. the ones i have now a x2 150w cfl one blue spec one red. now my question is to get a 200w dual spec cfl (do they work blue and red spec, is that what the dual means ?) or two 125w cfl one blue one red ? INDO

found a led, 150 watt cfl replacement 5500 looks good. https://www.lightrabbit.ie/catalog/product/gallery/id/869/image/1333/ looking for the best cfl bulbs

Holler! Dual spec bulbs are with two different kelvin temps, 2700k,red and 6400k,blue - some higher, some lower in range.
From experience, i would def. buy one of each - because when you are about to flower, you are going to want that extra red, that doesn't come with a 50/50 bulb.

That can be easily remedied with sidelighting, which IMHO is a must when using CFLs.

good thinking guys its a tricky one because the 200w cfl will be 200w ..hah. and the two 125w will be 250w with slightly more intensity of each spec, basically like u said jj i was looking at getting 5400k light, i read it was better? and run 6400k with them aswell
