t5s: ati vs giesemanne bulbs
ok, i hear everyone suggesting ati bulbs. i had bought a few giesemann bulbs since they were about 4 bucks cheaper than ati bulbs i have found online. so i saved about 40 bucks going with giesemanne bulbs. how do they compare to ati bulbs. i have seen somewhere taht ati bulbs have a little bit more par. any big difference? i have 4 actinic plus(compare to ati blue plus), and a aquablue +(compare to ati aquablue spec). also i have a 6500K midday that i swap out with the aquablue every now and then.

The whites have similar Par( Also the ATI is a nicer white bulb). The blue + by ATI is quite a bit higher in par than the actinic + by G-man.
