Phoenix 14K DE 250watt

I'm a fan. You can check out my built thread, all I've used on that tank are 2 250W phoenix bulbs. I wouldn't say they are growing bulbs but certainly the best of both (growth+color)

On the last page there is two pics, one a full tank shot. What bulbs in those pics, Phoenix?. Looks more white than blue, but I like it.

Yes they are phoenix, just the halides no T5s.

I am running them and can say they are very good quality. Nice consistant color.

I find the 150DE are fairly blue running on magnetic ballast.
The 250's are more white on electronic ballasts compared to more blue on coralife magnetic ballasts.
I think they are great lights with good balance of white/blue

I love my Phoenix 14K on A Bluewave Dual M80 ballast. The ballast is Huge, but gives off awesome color and brightness. Anlo not alot of heat for being 2 mag ballasts, I was supprised

Nearly all of the pictures of my tank in the link in my signature are under 250W 14K DE Phoenix bulbs. I do get good growth for much of what I have but I attribute that to water chemisty more than lighting.
