I will keep on with the Phoenix from now on and not return to the cheapo bulb.
I have tried a bunch of them. I remember the Artemis but can't remember what was the brand of the others I tried but they were all the same for results. My phoenix is currently one year old and I do not plan to replace it before another 6 months as it is still going strong and beautiful. At the end the cost is pretty much equivalent.

The last time I bought these bulbs, I didn't like the color (I'm not a fan of the blue) however if I had, I paid $40 for them and I would have gotten at least 3-6 months out of them. Currently I change my ushio bulbs out yearly at over $300. Even if I replace the ebay bulbs 4x a year I'm still only paying $160. Seems like a deal to me. They were the Artemis ones. I think I'll try them again only the 10k this time instead of the 14K as I no longer have a source for my Ushios anyways with OA closed
