I would like to get some feedback on some T8 bulbs. The three that I'm
looking at are:
Model Temp CRI
GE: F32T8SP65 6500K 75
GE: F32T8SPX50 5000K 86
Osram: F032950 5000K 90
Is it better to go for higher kelvins or higher CRI for medium light
plants?
Which bulbs have a more aesthetically pleasing light, in you guys'
opinion?
Any other things I should consider?
>>
Fucntionally (as opposed to looks) I suggest a minimum of 5000K and as high a
CRI
of 90 or more; for most set-ups, mixes of stocks... how much intensity? Give
us some input as to the shape/size of the system, species mix.
