    i need a new bulb for my sunpod. im running a megachrome 14.5k right now but it needs to be replaced. i have seen 14k double ended hqi bulbs on ebay for $25. or do i go with a pheonix bulb for $65 or spend $100 on another mega chrome?

    I would go with the Phoenix or megachrome. No idea on the quality of the cheap bulbs.
