These are my favorite lights for the money. The color temperature
suites my taste, and the CRI is 90, which means that it renders colors
about the way they should appear. The lights are not real bright and in
my experience they may stop lighting dependably after a year or so. >>
Anopther alternate is a light in a blue and white wrapper called Ultra
Daylight.
This bulb has a 6500K rating and also a 90CRI. In my twin tube fixtures I
have
found that these bulbs give fantastic plant growth as well as color remdering
when mixed with the so called plant and aquarium bulbs.
In single tube fixtures I'm finding that new series of Zoomed bulbs are also
working
fantasticly. There Tropical sun and Flora Sun both work great for plants but
the Tropical Sun is a little better color and brightness. The pricing on
these bulbs
are not unrealistic either.
