I'm picking up some 400w HPS lights this week and have an option for diffused or transparent/clear bulbs and I'm wondering what the difference is and which one is better suited for flowering plants?

thanks.

Clear.

Diffused looses a lot of lumens due to the phosphor coating used to do the diffusing. They're more for general lighting tasks in buildings and so forth.
