Who sells Phoenix bulbs?
 
Ok, who sells Phoenix 250w 14K DE bulbs? :mrgreen:

Original thread

Happy Reefing MH Bulbs
I've never noticed them for sale in Canada...does anyone carry them? Looking particularly for the 250w 14000K DE.

Anyone?

I believe reading on RC that the brand is now defunct.

Myka 06-26-2009 05:46 AM

Bah!!! Of course...because that's the bulb I want. Pfff!

The options for 250w DE bulbs (with good PAR on an electronic ballast) are very slim. The AquaConnect look good on paper, but $140 per bulb! :eek:

Get a phoenix, it's basically the same as AC but cheaper

True, AC bulbs are expensive, but I justify them by figuring they will last me 12 months. That comes out to less than $12 a month.. what else in this hobby is that inexpensive?:wink:

I have the SE ones, I don't think I would buy them again. They're too bright for my corals, lol

If you want the AC's why not get the Phoenix bulbs for a lot cheaper but similar specs?

Cheers.

Thanks guys! I was just looking at the specs on the Phoenix bulbs, good call on that. Ok...who sells Phoenix 250w 14K DE bulbs? :D

Ocean Aquatics has it as well as Oceanic Corals (but the website says they are sold out at the moment).

If you wanna go through the states Premium Aquatics is pretty good and they ship to Canada via USPS so they don't have those nasty brokers fees.

Cheers,
Vic
