![]() I've used both. (250W HQI) Both are good bulbs, although I slightly prefer the Phoenix over the Usio.

![]() I had Phoenix tried Ushio for 3 months and then went back to Phoenix because of colour. To me the Ushios look closer to 10k than 14k.

![]() The phoenix have a much bluer look to them. I switched over from ushio a few weeks ago and so far very happy with the phoenix and I think I will be sticking with them. They are closer in color to a 20k ushio but supposedly (haven't got out the PAR meter yet) have the output of a 14k.
