Happy new Year everyone!!!!

i am using one 55w pl white

and one 15w fl blue marine antinic..

your white is how many K ?

[metals99]

not too sure leh.. i think should be 5500k is it?? or 12200k heheh wat i know is most people here say the k dun matter its the wattage.. and how high and reflection u put your light..

[FuEl]

......the kelvins do matter...in fact..they matter ALOT.

The wattage does not matter that much..for example..a 24W T5 might actually provide more PAR compared to a 55W PL.

Wattage is only a measure of power consumption...not always directly related to the light intensity given out by the bulb.

[ryz]

I second that

[metals99]

oh yea.. the pl i dunno the kelvin.. gonna check but it's sure for marine..
