I have two on my 55gl and I like them. The 15k has a real nice blue color and give good growth. They are so blue I don't even need to run my atinics

any par value for the reef grow bulbs anywhere, maybe some sort of comparison to lets say xm bulbs? any links

I'm not sure I haven't mesured the par and I didn't get no info on them they were cheap and I needed a bulb becase miner went out and didn't have the money for an XM and I am happy with them so far so they will work until i buy more
