    mmm well what you can take from this page is that the PAR for the iwasaki 50k is pretty amazing, considering that it beats out other 20k bulbs. This means awesome 20k colors and decent growth... but since I have never seen one, I would say to stick with the phoenix, ushio, or maybe the SPS

    I just noticed that I bought Phoenix 14k HID MH bulbs and I have stock 15k HQI MH bulbs.
    Does it matter?
