GE 9325°K bulbs w/ pics

The CRI of the 10K GE buld is 67. Wouldn't you want something a bit higher to get correct colors?

What does "correct" mean to you? Pure daylight? Overcast? Rising or setting sunlight? The truth is, pure daylight simulation is great for purists who desire a natural look, but it actually washes out (or at least doesn't enhance) a lot of the colors many people find appealing in tropical plants and fishes. In this case, go by looks, not by numbers.

I just had to gloat that I was given two GE 9325K's this weekend! used for 6 months, but who cares! It lets me try them out until my new ones arrive.
