I love the golden sun coloured light. I can reproduce this light by combining 3 X 10,000K + 2 X 3000K MH bulbs.

I get this golden color on my picotope with a couple 9watt PCs from Lowes (4100K ). I don't care for it really, but $2 per bulb beats the $10 for the 10000K. Also, it gets window light which appears "bright white" in comparison.
