Par analysis on both the phoenix and the aquaconnects shows that they may be the same bulb.
There are reports that they come out of the same factory and are rebranded.
The phoenix are significantly less $$$ though.

there's always the $10-20 eBay bulbs.

Personally only used the Hamilton 14K (loved the colour but 2 bulbs only lasted a month each) and Ushio 14K (find rather yellow but can't complain about the growth).

heres what my 250W Phoenix 14K de bulbs on an icecap ballast look like




I like them, but to me the aquaconnects look a little crisper and brighter.
