14,000 Pheonix HELP

I'm wondering what markings this bulb has on it. I bought one online and the package said 14,000 Pheonix but the bulb doesn't say Phoenix and it just says 250w Blue...does that sound right?

It's been awhile since I used them, but I'm pretty sure that sounds right.

My 150's are marked........ on the box,and bulb........

I was always concerned if mine were genuine "phoenix" bulbs also.

They do burn a nice blue/white like the 14k phoenix is noted to. I am happy with the color iregardless ! I just hope, when its time to re-order new bulbs, I will get the same.

Later...........Herbie

My 250 was labeled pretty much the same but 250 instead of 150w.

Didn't say Pheonix
