Very powerful, beautiful color

Comments

Great bulbs, outperforms most 250W 15k for par PAR while sipping 175W. Nice bright white light with a touch of blue. With actinic supplementation they're the perfect color, to me at least. :) Throw them in a nice high end parabolic reflector and you can easily light a 30" tank, no more 400's.

Liked about it	Perfect color (to me) on an icecap. High output over an extended period. High efficacy.
Didn't like	Relatively pricey, but they end up cheap in terms of energy usage. Some may find it too yellow when compared to other 15k's. Not many stores stock them they seem to be getting more prevalent with time though.

Yes they perform as advertised, but can be different colors with different ballasts on my pendant one bulb tended to be a little on the yellow side vs a white light, other was perfect

Liked about it	gppd price went the distance and withstood the test of time for me was a nice white light
Didn't like	Don't look the same on every ballast but then again what bulb does. this is the only thing I can say negative about them, even then it could have been on my end and nothing to do with the bulb itself.
