Is there a 96 watt equivalent to the GE 9325k 55 watt bulb??

Hoosch · 01-26-2004, 03:52 PM

I've heard a lot about the GE 9325k bulb. It seems to be one of the more desired 55 watt bulbs.

I'm wondering what its equivalent is in a 96 watt version.

I've got A H Supply's 2x96 watt Bright Kit on order and want to know which bulbs I should get for it.

Nope.

Just out of curiosity, doesn't the 9325 equate to 9325 kelvin?

If that is so, isn't it pretty close to the 10K bulbs. If they are, I don't know why you just can't use a 10k bulb if you're looking for something similiar, as the 10k bulbs are pretty easy to find.

It's not the same. The typical 10k bulb out there contains mostly blue light. The fact that the combination of phosphors in the GE9325K ends up at 9325K is just a coincidence.
Just goes to show how valid the whole "Color Temperature" selection concept is.
