I can't see the numbers... where does that last big spike fall?

Red Sun and Red Life are the same. Very confusings
I didn't mention any "Red Life" anything,
I said RedSun's.
I'm hesitant on those FloroSun's, as they simply look like 5000k bulbs..
If anything maybe a 6400k tube, or a supplementary 40w 5000k bulb on the side,
I'm just not convinced on those FloroSun's..
Much thanks to both of you! Mr Pohl can kiss my ass!its a big fat 611nm spike typicial of most commerical (cheap) tri-band phosphors. From the SPD alone it looks like the average 6500k with a little less green than average which would lend the pink/purplish hue rather than the more properly blended white output from a bulb with equal spikes in RGB. I kinda think it was a message when the two Fiji Purps I ordered both arrived broken in two... I think someone was telling me not to waste the slots in my fixture on em, I kinda got soured by KZ's shadiness in refusing to release their data, I think we know why! Thomaz Pohl of KZ, sir you can cram your $30 bulbs up your cram hole!
Thanks again to Blueb for getting this chart done
If you don't already have T5 fixtures, I would get a couple 2 bulb fixtures to parallel your hortilux. Consider 2 Red Suns (or 1 RS + 1 FloraSun) and 2 Coral Waves for flower and ~ 2 Super Actinics for veg, possibly keep 1 for flower tooSo due to research I've been doing,
I've decided that ultimately for my bloom room I'll be going with an "EYE Hortilux Blue MH"..
I REALLY like T5, but based on replacement cost for a full wave of PAR T5's,
especially with the short life of T5-VHO (Such as those RedSun's)
I just can't afford a ~$150 wave of bulbs to be replaced so often.
I don't grow for profit, I just self supply.
However, I will be getting a single T5 bulb to supplement some strong Blues,
to be paired with a standard 6400k T5HO bulb.
Anybody have a suggestion?
I'm thinking the SuperActinic T5, but will this spectrum mix well with a 6400k @ 50/50 ratio,
for a strong Vegetative/Mother light?
So the guy did you a solid nd treated you fair with good customer service and then you wished you would have lied to him and taken advantage?OK I just got off the phone with UVL Lighting. I asked if there was a dealer I could purchase red suns from that are of a new stock, because I am tired of sending back the defective ones. I talked to Jeff and told him I got 3 red suns from Hello lights and they are all bad. He sead there are no new shipments out. He is waiting on a shipment from the manufacturer .
800-435-7779
Now the good news, he is going to send me 3 new bulbs when the new shipment gets in. No charge to me.
More good news, all he asked me was my address. No Prof of sale or anything like that.
I wish I had toled him I bought 6 from hello lights.
Just tell the girl on the phone you need to talk to Jeff, in aquarium lights.
