PL Vs. PC... What's the difference?

That's my question...

I've used Coralife PCs for 3 years now. This week I changed one of the PC 10000K bulb for an odyssea 50/50 PL and I love how does it looks.

Is this ok for my corals?

What's the difference between that PL and the Coralife PCs besides the price of course....

Are you serious?

Do you have any data sheet or something to read about it?

What are you so sure?

What about the differences in prices? it must have an explanation besides the bands...

They seem to be listed as PL in europe and PC in the US.

I've seen both, no difference that I can see.

A friend who is in the lighting business told me their is no differenc.

There are different levels of quality in lamps. The particular PL lamps you are looking at may be cheap.
