SE Phoenix 14K

[chirocato]

I thought I heard rumors that Phoenix was coming out with a SE 14K. Anyone know if this is true? If so any idea when??

That would be pretty cool if they did. Would love to run one on an HQI ballast!

I have heard the Aquaconnect 14K is similar to the Phoenix 14K.

Dont know this first hand just what i have read on here

The Aqua Connect is made by the same company. The color is not exactly like the Pheonix but close. Nothing also comes close to the PAR you get from an aqua connect. It blows most of the 10k's out of the water.

Where do you get the AC's?

[triggerfish1976]

There is only a select few places that carry them since they are a limited run german bulb.

the aquaconnect 14k de is the same as the pheonix

the aquaconnect 14k se is a different bulb.

It is just what i read and from a very good lighting source.

I realize they are not exactly the same but heard they are very close


Premium aquatics carries the Aquaconnect but it carries a very steep price tag $115.00

Nothing comes close to the Aqua Connects PAR? Last time I checked, the XM 10k blows it out of the water.

hmmmmm AC vs XM

AC only beats out the XM 10k at the 450nm mark

The Reeflux 10 k has pretty similar par number to AC according to Sanjay's test.

For blue with PAR the AC stands alone, but I hate the washed outcolor compared to the XM or reeflux... and I like blue.

Which is why the AC's are so impressive. You get the blue tint and better brightness.

Correct but the color of the xm10k is so freakin sick i can't stand it! I ran it for a couple weeks pulled it off and sold it for $10, replaced it with a radium 20k......love it, but not as much as t5's

My XM10Ks weren't even close to bright white light.
