Philips Ceramic Metal Halide Old vs New - which one is better?

[Jokker]

Sorry if this was already discussed, I`m wondering what bulb would you choose out of these 2.

It seems the new one with the e27 fitting has 2800k compared to the old g12 fitting which is 3000k - might be better for flowering right?

also the new bulb has better lifespan.

I`m just worried the new one won`t have all the uv goodies as the old one, anyone have experienced with both?

Thanks!

Edit: I understand now that those will need additional glass layer, so this is pretty irrelevant

That's a good question. I like anything that improves flowers. The new one will kick ass just as much except a little more effectively.
