    It looks right for an actinic in the 450nm range to me. If it's the purplish you like, go with 420nm.

    yeah my old odyssea actinic bulbs are labeled actinic but really were blue bulbs.. but look at the difference now with the uvl bulb compared to the generic bulb.. super blue! thats what i wanted.

    so what do you guys think?

    I finally ordered UVL 65w 420nm and 65w 14K from reefgeeks to replace my Odyssea garbage bulbs. Can't wait :)
    Do not buy generic bulbs guys!
