South Pacific Sunlight 10k?

foshizzle · 09/30/2007, 10:08 PM

Anyone tried these?

Sanjay's data suggests they run even brighter and bluer than the Reeflux bulbs. Performance data on Icecap ballast for example...

South Pacific Sunlight (SPS) 10000K
PPFD: 90
CCT: 18602

Coralvue Reeflux 10000K
PPFD: 86
CCT: 15953

i was lookin at gettin some new bulbs leaning towards the reefluxs but tif these sps bulbs are good then i might go that way anyone else see them?

Spectral plots of the two bulbs are almost identical also. Spikes in all the same places, but slightly bigger blue spike and slightly less in the other spots compared to the reeflux...

As long as bulb life is good, I switching from the Reeflux

Im sure its a good bulb. I just did not like the color rendition it had .

The Reeflux 10000K is an amazing bulb IMO. I wonâ€™t be switching anytime soon. Of course I always say that but only time will tell

i had the sps 10k as my first set of bulbs and i loved it. and yes it is bluer than reeflux and xm10ks i believe, but not sure if it's actully brighter or not.

Are you comparing it to the SPS or just making a general statement. The Reeflux is definitely a great bulb, but from Sanjay's data the SPS looks the same only better...
