    You shouldn't loose any PAR with the Purple Plus. I checked out ATI's website. It says the Coral Plus is 50% Blue Plus, 40% Aquablue Special and 10% Purple Plus. They rate is as being a 15000K bulb. They say the light is a crisp white.

    I went to ATI's site, my browser translated it for me. I use Firefox.

    Coral Plus bulbs installed

    I have 2 Coral Plus and 2 Blue Plus bulbs in the light fixture now. I have them CP, BP, CP, BP.
    Here is how it looks.

    I had 2 Aquablus Specials the the Coral Plus replaced.
    Here is how it looked.

    Here are the Coral Plus bulbs alone.

    I think this bulb could definitely be used as a stand alone bulb and give a color we like.
