I see! My setup uses Icecap ballast; and the setup discussed in this thread uses Icecap as well. That's why I've been using the Icecap data. But thanks for clearing that up! If I am ever to change my ballast to HQI, I'll give the G-man bulbs a chance.
As far as how blue the phoenix bulbs are, it is merely a matter of personal taste. I like the way mine looks, you don't like yours; and that's ok. What is important is that the readers of the thread hear from both sides so that they can make an informed decision. And I would say that unless you run the true HQI ballast, the Gman bulbs don't offer any advantage in terms of PPFD.
How much do the Gmann bulbs cost by the way? I did a quick search on the net and didn't see any vendors that sell them.
