Having a good color rendering index is merely for the viewer - their preference. The plants see the spectral output of the light from 400nm to 700nm; not the color of the bulb.I understand that but I was wondering how i can get a good balance for the plants, should i have all my bulbs have a high CRI ?
I've had good results witht the Current SunPaq Dual Daylight bulbs (10,000K/6700K). While not 9325K, I do like the color and plant growth I get from these bulbs. The coating holds up well, and I can get over a year on these bulbs with an 11 hour photoperiod being used.What other 55w/65w 4-pin straight biax bulbs are you other members using????
I havent seen a T5HO for the 9325. I dont see GE making one as there are so many better T5HO bulbs already available.do they make a 9325K in T5HO
what color is 9325K? is it a redish light?
so its probably the same as my red wave form wave point?I havent seen a T5HO for the 9325. I dont see GE making one as there are so many better T5HO bulbs already available.
It is reddish and is poor color rendering overall.
How much for them??I had purchased my six pack at Atlanta Light Bulb. They were manufactured in the UK.
Here's a good Light! I've seen how it works.I came here to research lighting for this tank and my new one. I heard so many good things about the GE 9325K here that I decided to replace my bulbs with those. So, at the advice of many here I ordered one of those and 1 Coralife Trichromatic (6500K, I think).
The difference is incredible. Thanks guys!
(sorry...the pics are a little blurry...but you can see the lighting difference)

I cant remember exactly what I paid but I believe it was a bit more than $40/six. So I'd say you found a good deal.How much for them??
Edit: it looks like the six pack i linked to is the same... And its only 40$...
I myself like a white light so I have found that mixing bulbs is best for achieving this as well as for providing the proper spectrum of light for plants.Hey Newt thanx for all of your comments. I have one for you. I have 65 gallon tank and I have a 48" Catalina 4 light bulb fixture of t5HO. I'm running three 6700k light bulbs. Should I add a fourth bulb as 10k bulb to get a broader spectrum or take out one of the 6700k and add a 10k? What combination will work best given what I have to get the best mix of light for my plants? I have a little bit of everything in there.
