Phantom vs Blockbuster reflector

I recently purchased a Hydro farm phantom grow light. I usually use large blockbuster reflectors, but the Phantom seems much brighter. Is anyone have any experience with phantom lights?

If you're talking their 1000W HID digital ballast I ran one for years. It's currently sitting in my garage. I upgraded to LED. I had a lot of great grows with it.

That's going to put out some heat. When I ran HID I ran glass enclosed, air cooled hoods and dumped the heat out of the room after cooling my bulbs.
