Hey guys, I just noticed where some of you were talking about the UVL Red Sun/Red Life spectrum on page 128ish... so I figured that I would post the emails I exchanged with them back on 9/9/11 for your perusal:
[FONT="]Sorry for the late response, we've been shorthanded and extremely busy. So not to make the graphs more confusing then they are is to simply show where the light peaks are. The lamps are all measured differently on the x-axis chart and should not be used to show light intensity. The Red Sun lamp is peaking at 633nm which is very specific in the red spectral peak. Below is my phone # if you would like to call me.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Subject:[/FONT][FONT="] T5 V-HO bulbs | Spectrum graphs on website[/FONT]
Hello,
I am researching the optimum combination of T5 bulbs for my system. It is wonderful that you have spectrum graphs for each of your T5 bulbs. However, I have found that the information provided is VERY confusing.
FIrst of all, what is the unit of measurement of the x-axis in the graphs anyways? It is reported as a numerical value, with no unit of measurement...
Also, suddenly in the graph for the Red Sun bulb, it is given in percentages???
Furthermore, I have found that the x-axis in each of the graphs is scaled differently in magnitude.
For example, the first five T5 bulbs on the site share the same x-axis measure (numerical), but the magnitude ranges greatly!
The 75.25, 454 and Indigo Sun bulbs x-axis range from zero to 5.00E-05 (0.00005)
The Actinic White and Aquasun bulbs x-axis range from zero to 1.00E+00 (1)
The Super Actinic x-axis ranges from zero all the way up to 2.5E+00 (2.5)
Is this correct? If so, it suggests that none of the light peaks from the 75.25, 454, and Indigo Sun bulbs have even the slightest fraction of the light intensity??? (or whatever that missing unit of measurement is) that the other bulbs have in their light peaks.
And the Red Sun bulb well I have no idea how to make any direct comparison in magnitude with that graph, given the x-axis is in a completely different measurement altogether (percentages), and the unit of measurement is still missing
Any assistance that you could provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
