    I have narrowed down my search to these two 150 watt bulbs for my SUNPOD fixture. What is your opinions on these bulbs (SPS 14K and Phoenix 14K). What has better PAR out of the two?? Does anyone have any pics of either these two bulbs in their tanks on a SUNPOD?? Thanks

    I'm not sure, but if you look on the websites of the makers, you can probably find the par. Google reviews on the two and you'll find the info you need. I don't usually like to refer people to google as this website is here so you don't need to, but in this instance there is good info out there .

    google the name sanjay joshi. His website is a great source as he has tested hundreds of different ballast bulb combinations. Also, comparing the phoenix to the sps is like comparing a vette to a pinto. the phoenix wins hands down.
