BULBS which one is the best

[hawkeye31657]

I am in the need of a new bulb for my HQI 250 double end bulbs and I was thinking of the Pheonix 14k 250 watt Double Ended HQI
and then someone told me the Aqualine Buschke HQI Double Ended Metal Halide Bulbs 250W 13000°K . That it lasted longer and was a better bulb for the color in the any thoughts out there and help would be nice

I've preferred the Phoenix... But a lot depends on what all you're trying to propagate... I've also read rave reviews about the Reeflux 12000K... Thats probably the bulb I'll try next...

I have the phoenix 14k 250 hqi and am very happy with them. I changed from evc 10k hqi and the tank improved. I think the 10k had too much par from some of my stuff.

I have tried

AB 20K
MegaChrome 14.5k
AB 10k
Blueline 14k
Pheonix 14k

By far the Pheonix are my favorite fo the above with the Megachrom next, but they were about twice the price.
