Phoenix bulbs - SE vs DE
Who here has seen BOTH the 250w Phoenix DE bulbs AND the SE bulbs? Does the color spectrum look the same? The DE is my favourite halide bulb on the market, but I haven't seen the SE in action yet. Thoughts?

Didn't even know they make an SE bulb.

I think the SE version is a lot more rare then the DE version. I don't even know of a vendor who sells it in Canada.
I remember when they first came out they were $100+/- in the US (now they are around $75 US). Cheers, Vic

Marine Depot has both 175's & 250's
Premium Aquatics has the 175's You could probably ask PA if they can get the 250's because they ship USPS and MD does not. It would be awesome if a Canadian vendor had them though. Cheers, Vic

I don't know about looks side to side, but, SE bulbs 9 out of 10 times will give you more PAR and give better coverage.. If I have the choice between the two I will always go with a SE bulb id I have the space.
