in what ways, scientific data instead of a vague answer would be nice?

why is the spectral analysis better with whatever bulbs your talking about to the spectral analysis of the sps 14k?

the lighting issue of this hobby is never ending.

 

here is a spectral plot for the iwasaki 175 15000k

Daniel, have you personally used this bulb and had a bad experience, or is everything you are arguing based off just this one particular site?

 

I have used the sps 10000k and and hated them. It was extremely yellow and weak. We got some free 400 watt 14K bulbs in the store where I work and tried them over the frag tanks. Complete brown out of all of the sps. Yes I have seen them in action. Also this isn't my whole point. People come on here and act like these are the best bulbs made and the FACT is as proven by independent test, is that there are bulbs out there that perform better in every way.

 

which ones?

i already posted the graphs

define weak?
what was the par level when your corals browned out?

im not biased towards the south pacific sunlight bulbs, just looking for data

 

oh and by the way guys if you are paying more than 60 bucks for the 250 watt de 14000k sps bulb, you are getting ripped off. I've seen cost on these bulbs and our store sells them
