Aqua Connect 14000K really worth it?
 

Looking at bulbs, I have Phoenix 14000K right now. JL sells them $70, but the AC 14000K is DOUBLE!!! $139. Are they really worth that?

Ive used both and although the aqua connects were a little brighter they are 90% the same bulb. I now save my cash and use Phoenix lol

Agreed. The Phoenix bulbs are a steal of a deal!

They also make the Phoenix in 175 and 250w mogul now. Im switching over to mogul soon because of the radium bulb but if they dont pan out ill be going back to the SE Phoenix

I'm running ac 14K there ok....but I like hamilton 14K better

I haven't had great growth with Hamilton 250w Mogul 14ks. I'm not sure what the PAR values are on them but I'm guessing they'e not too high. They do an amazing job of bringing out colours though. Looks wise they get my vote.

Any idea where to find Pheonix 250w SE in Vancouver? Whats the growth like with radiums?

Have not seen them in vancouver yet, just on the internet. I have not used radium yet personally but most people say they get 14k growth with a great "POP"
