Powercompacts use a lower wattage and is cheaper then the VHO.
Very High Outputs are lights such as metal ha. bulbs. They are the best lights out there and are very expensive. Powercompacts will most often do the job, unless you have a water deep aquarium and you need STRONG STRONG penatration which will probably require VHO's.
Also even the VHO's use PC's as well, often times the PC are the blue lights, actincs.

Power compacts are a newer version of flourescent lighting...they claim to be more intense then the VHO, but I have both and like the VHO better...VHO is another version of a flourescent light...dont quiet know the particulars, but the VHO is a brighter more intense, and higher wattage lighting then the normal flourescent...neither are similar in any fashion to a metal halide, which is a complete different ball game...
