power compact lights

Does anyone have experience with these bulbs? Seems like a good deal, but the bulb length is kind of long. Any thoughts?

link doesn't work.


but i would avoid power compacts if i were you there kinda outdated.

 

I had to hit refresh for it to work

 

I know they are not the most up to date bulbs but, I can not afford to switch out all, 3, of my aquariums

 

they seem kinda dim to me in the pics, but that might just be the camera. also it kinda bothers me they don't mention the brand.

also i heard bad things about there shipping and packaging

 

Go to reefgeek.com and get the UVL bulbs there. I did and boy am I ecstatic I did. They might downplay PC's and I totally understood it because of the crappy current bulbs I had. Once I switched to UVL bulbs whoa a color explosions happened in my tank all my corals turned great bright colors and all the brownness went away.

 

I went to reefgeek.com, they sound like decent bulbs, which styles did you get? Super Actinic, Actinic White, 75-25 14000K Aquablue, 2-in-1 (12000K/Super Actinic), 2-in-1 (Super Actinic/75-25)

 

I got 2 75/25's and 2 454 blues. the 454 blues are not listed on the site you have to ask for them over the phone. The 75/25's give the tank a purplish look so you might want to go with actinic white bulbs. But my corals love that purple light.

 

Thanks, I will for sure check them out.
