    No idea on the quality. You will want to change a PC light after 6 months regardless of brand. Buy the 10000k and 460nm blue. Actinic have little usable light for corals and the blue will give you just about the same effect as actinic.

    I like the current brand of PC bulbs best. I would but the 460nm bulb and their 6500/10000k combo if you were looking for coral growth and color. The 6500K will make non fluorescing yellows and greens pop.
