    Anyone have a suggestion for a high noon bulb?

    I've been looking at either having a UVL Aquasun or a Giessmann Midday.

    Any thoughts? These lights would be on for about 3 hours or so.. my LEDs handle the rest of the day. I am looking for a bit more yellow to knock down some of the blue.

    Thanks!

    Go with the Geisemann or a GE 6500K.

    I personally like the GE 6500k for a daylight bulb. How many leds are you running. The true daylight bulbs are pretty darn yellow/red. I wouldn't use one unless it was an 8 bulb or more t5 kit or unless I had a lot of blue leds to tone it down.

    The ATI aquablue special may be plenty white or even the coral plus depending on your tastes.

    I think you would be better of with high noon xp-gs, the 6500k cool whites. The choice is up to you, a 6500k T-5 would have the same effect.
