Great thread this!

Does anyone know where to find the spectrum data for power compact fluorescents?

I bought a light hood that came with two generic CF 24W 10,000K bulbs in it (so I was told), photo:

Light hood is about 35cm long. The problem is that my red plants have all turned green and glosso is growing vertically, despite high CO2 levels, good water quality and good fert routine. At over 6W per gallon there should be plenty of light......so I have put it down to the output of the bulbs themselves.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.
