The Planted Tank Forum - View Single Post - New, Panasonic EFD Series CF Bulbs

I went to Home Depot to look for some of these Panasonic bulbs and instead I foung some 6500K Compact Fluorescent 15w regular base bulbs for $7!!! I picked up a set and put them on my 15g tank and they look amazing! Very bright bluish daylight look. Would be awesome for a reef but the plants have responded far more than I thought they would. The Sunset Hygro near the surface is the brightest pink/magenta I've ever seen it be!

I'll get more info on them tomorrow. I'll snap some pictures of the bulbs, etc.
