Newt,

Are you using all Philips PLL950 in your fixture or do you mix them with other bulbs?

Do you think it would be a good idea to use a combination of two 9325K's with two PLL950's? Would that combination be able to grow plant well and create a nicely balanced color spectrum?

Newt, may I ask where you got the PLL950? I could only find a PLL950 that claimed to be 5400K with a 82CRI. I have the 9345 and like the idea of pairing it with high CRI bulb as you described.

I just upgraded my lighting to T5HO Midday but used the PLL950s for years and have used them with many other combos including 9325 but usually with GroLux. I think I had great results.

For the $$$ I shelled out for a TEK 4 bulb x 54w fixture and Giesmann Midday bulbs I was just as well off with the Philips PL-L/950 CFs. Actually, I think my red plants were more red with the 950s which equates to a stronger blue light.

This is a great deal for the 9325s if you want to get 6 at a time.

The link to the page will not work properly so enter F55BX/AR/FS in the search box on the website home page.

I have 2 t-12 9325K on my aquarium and I love this light. Very bright, have a lot of blue and red so the red plants shows more red and the blue-violet of fish are more strong. Also I have 2 full spectrum and two red GE aquarium and plants. The combinations brings white light with the effect of 9325K
