Pheonix 14K VS Ushio 14K???

Guygettnby · 01/18/2009, 04:20 PM

on a current outer orbit with dual 250w MH lights and the stock HQI ballasts wich i think are M80's? wich bulbs will have a higher par value?

The 250W Pheonix 14K or the 250W Ushio 14K??

i know that the pheonix is a tad bluer and the ushio is a tad whiter but i need to know the PAR values if i can get them. the ligting website is down so i cant look there for answers.

thanks
Guy

There is no test on the 14k Ushio, but it should be the same as the G-mann 14.5 Coral. I believe Sanjay has it marked as 13k Coral though.
