So... I already had a MH bulb burn out on my new MH/T5 fixture and am just going to buy 3 new 250W 14k bulbs to replace the 3 that are there since their reliability has less than impressed me.
The bulbs do not have a brand name on them but do say HIT 250W - 14000K on the glass of them. It's a single end screw in type MH as well.
My question is... is there really a big difference between the brand names out there available for MH bulbs and are HIT and HQI bulbs compatible in the same ballasts? I'm looking to order these online as soon as possible as i'm currently short a bulb on my fixture.
I know everyone says favorable things about Phoenix brand, but is there really a difference between their bulbs vs BlueLife, AquaMaxx, IceCap/Anthony Calfo Signature Series, etc.
Thanks
