    they are kinda yellowy

    i would go with a pheonix

    the 14K bulbs arent on a regulated standard like the 10K. try to browse around the forum for some comparison pics

    It will work until you can afford to buy another one.

    Well it works the same way really, you need a bulb now so get the Coralife and when you have enough to get the Phoenix get it.
