Spectral Analysis of 70 watt MH Lamps & ballasts???

Has anyone done Spectral Analysis of 70 watt MH Lamps & ballasts???

Iâ€™m going to be using an Astralux 70w 14k & 70w NAiS Electronic MH Ballast over a 7 gallon cube nano tank.

I've found the results on 150 watt bulbs/ballast but not 70 watt.

This publication from the Lighting Research Center might be a start: http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/NLPI...IEW/SRLWMH.pdf.

Thanks, I checked it out & learned a lot about low voltage MH lighting & ballasts, but the bulbs tested were all warehouse/outdoor type lighting.
