The Only True Actinic in T5's. by TODD MARCH

Comments: This bulb is the closest thing you are going to come to UVL's classic VHO actinic--it's violet in color (NOT blue!!), and fluoresces colors (primarily greens) very, very well... If you are used to all the other cruddy T5 actinics out there (including UVL's, which is ironic considering they set the standard with their VHO bulb), which are TOO blue and TOO bright, you may not like this bulb at all--it's dim with low, low PAR, but that's not why you are using it--this bulb is for supplementation for those us that have never gotten over the POP and intense day-glow colors you can get with VHO 03 actinics. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Color! by chrisO

Comments: Swithced my PC flourescent actinics to a T5 setup and couldn't be happier. These lamps, although smaller and consuming half the wattage are actually BRIGHTER than my 55watt PCs were. The color is great, the deep purple that really makes the corals pop. I've got these lamps paired up with Phoenix 14.5K halides and am very pleased with the combo. Can't speak for long term quality as I've only had them a few weeks. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
