Comments: These lights have good look to the eye, my corals haven't died yet. I will be curious to see if my BTA likes them as well. Would be nice to accent with LED's.

Comments: This is an excellent source for my aquarium. It keeps my plants lush and my fish happy!

Comments: The light is good and meets my needs for a 75g coral & fish aquarium. I ordered the 65W Actinic White 12000K/420nm Super Actinic, Dual Color but there doesn't seem to be any dual color to it, mainly bright white. I prefer the blue color as it really brings out the color in the coral rather than washing it out with white and I miss the tranquility of the blue. Now I have to wait for the LEDs to come on before I can truly see the great colors. Overall, the lights work well for the price and I'll make sure to order blue next time.

Comments: I ordered this before and have decided to order it again. The last one I replaced after about 9 months. It worked well with my coral - kept all my anemones alive too.

Comments: The 420's are a deep blue light that contrast well with the 10,000's. Company packed the lights well for shipping and they arrived in great condition. I couldn't ask for a better online purchase.

Comments: Great light. Going to add some more coral. Brilliant white.

Comments: I haven't had the bulbs long enough to make an informed decision. I am also a very new beginner at this hobby, so what do I know, right. I would like to say the bulbs are great so far. I would also add that one bulb was damaged on arrival, despite the awesome packing job. I have had contact with customer service and a replacement was shipped immediately. fast friendly thank you .

Comments: good stuff

Comments: These 50/50 bulbs have the perfect mix of color with brightness. I have a 4 Actinic bulb 48" T5 fixture on the back and a 4 bulb coralife fixture with 2 420's (back row) and 2 of these 420/10K 50/50's in the front row. This combination gives me a nice bright natural look in front with a purple hue in the middle and a deep blue in the back of the tank. Very realistic depth look on one of my 90g as if you were underwater. I like how it breaks up the colors and doesn't have everything under the same tone.

Comments: I got these for 9.99 each. I had bulbs that were old and besides rustingin the plug the bulbs have dimmed over time. when I plugged these in the lights were 3 times as bright. I just wish the actinic only was on sale but this was a great buy to hold me over until i get into led's.

Comments: Works just like its supposed to and my corals love it!

Comments: I used these bulbs to replace some Hamilton 420nm bulbs and am much happier! These bulbs seem to be much brighter and after about only a week my corals seem to be happier as well.

Comments: I received this item Sept 25th 2010..It has only lasted 3 months.....bought a replacement from a local store see how long this one lasts

Comments: Excellent Product. Exactly as I expected!

Comments: Great for those looking for lighting more in the blue spectrum. I love what they have done for my tank. Its like a whole new tank. Paired with the super actinic 65W Power Compact they sell. Love the effect and am seeing a real difference in the color of my corals.

Comments: They worked just fine

Comments: Bulbs are great. However, there is a hint of blue in the light they emit. I like it but others may not.

Comments: Thanks for recommending the Actinic dual color lighting. The lighting provides a rich full color to our tank and shows off the fish in detail that was not visible before. We are extremely satisfied with this purchase and the help you provided in choosing them.

Comments: It had been 2 years since I had changed my compact flourecent bulbs in my Coralife Lunar Aqualight. I had totally forgotten just how bright my 40 gallon tank could be. I recommend these bulbs to anyone, they are worth the extra $$.

Comments: My plants love the bulbs

Comments: The bulb seems very good just more purple thatn blue

Comments: well packaged, Thanks. I was expecting the light bulb to be more of a purple color and it is more of a blue. It didn't make too much difference in my tank. I will probably change my halides bulbs in the near future, in order to balance the color more.

Comments: The color and depth these reach are great for CF bulbs. Very pleased with them.

Comments: I ordered the 65W 420nm/10000K (10K) White (50/50) Power Compact Bulb - Straight Pin, Coralife bulb and it made my tank look so much prettier. It really brought out the coralline and my royal gramma's color just pops! It's been two months since I got the bulb and I've had no problems.
<br />

Comments: The performence is not as the true actnic but is very good option if mix with some 50/50 to get some of the brthness of it. Overall the coral accepted very well but you have to get used to, to the new look of the tank especial when the actnic are in use only.

Comments: GOOD PRICE FOR THE PRODUCT.CHEAPEST I FOUND!

Comments: Wow, these lights look great. I hope they hold out longer then Coralife brand.

Comments: Replacing old lamps, not only does my Coral do better, but I have less green algae growing (not sure I understand why).If I replace my lamps every 12-18 months,seem's to work good for me.

Comments: I have only had the bulbs no more than a few days so I can't comment on longevity. But the color is great! All of my local stores only carried the blue bulbs so I had to order online. They were even cheaper than the blue bulbs in the store. The colors on my fish just stand out It's not a stark white but the colormax gives a softer more natural light.

Comments: I like them so far. Now only time will tell how well the corals will respond to the lights.

Comments: Bulbs are considerly smaller than the ones i relaced. At least 4 inches shorter and smaller. I would not reorder these bulbs again for the price they cost.

Comments: this is a good light . i am more satisfied with the price/and shipping .i saved over 35 dollars by buying here .the light was shipped and arrived when is was supposed to and pack great no fear of it breaking/i will be shopping here again for sure

Comments: There one of the best nice and bright my corals love them.

Comments: I have an Odyssea light system,I replaced all the PC bulbs with UVL brand(2 Actinic,2 50/50)to supplement my 14000k Phoenix metal halides,this combination of bulbs really made my coral colors stand out,
<br /> they have a lot better color to them the Odyssea bulbs did and they seem a lot brighter but my old bulbs were getting a little old.

Comments: These lights replaced the darker color actinin lights and really seems to be working well with the tank mates. Makes a great color for the tank display.

Comments: Originally ordered one...it lit up my tank so beautifully, I ordered a second one for the other side of my tank.

Comments: They are a deep rich blue,almost purple,compliments my 14000K MH's beautifully.

Comments: Very good light. Can't say a lot about thelifetime yet, therefore only 4 stars.

Comments: These bulbs are very bright and last a long time. Very satisified.

Comments: These lamps are much whiter than the previous actinic lamps I've used. My aquarium looks great but I'm still getting used to them.

Comments: These bulbs are an inch longer than the Coralife bulbs - I found out the hard way by breaking two of them when installing them in my fixture (they don't fit). I did get to see one in action for a few minutes before installing the second and it looked very pure and intense.

Comments: easy to change. great light.

Comments: This bulb is very Purple once you burn it in. It really made the reds, oranges, greens, and blues explode out of some of my zoas. For a little better balence the addition of a more blue range bulb is needed. I give it 2 thumbs up!

Comments: Worked right outa the box!!

Comments: Worked right outa the box!!

Comments: My first replacement for my Coral Life light - noticed a dramatic improvement as my original bulbs were 1 year old. Fish and coral are reacting very well to the new bulbs. They did an excellent job packaging the bulbs - with the price I am always concerned but after opening the box and seeing all the packing materials used, I had no doubt that I made the right choice both in price and quality. Will definetly come back again for all my future needs.

Comments: 2 of the bulbs I ordered burned out within a week. I had to re-order them from another site. They have been working fine since.
<br />
<br />Shipping speed was average--took about a week to get here.
<br />
<br />I must say I love the spectrum of these bulbs. I have 2 6700k, 2 10000k and 2 actinics on my freshwater tank. The fish and plants look gorgeous.

Comments: The quality and performance of the Blue Life SPS 10000K Power Compact is what one would expect from a similar product. My problem with them is how they seem to have "Cheaped Out" on the length. The bulbs I removed were 2 inches longer each which has resulted in a net loss of length of 4 inches placed end to end. The ends of my 6 foot long tank are noticeably dimmer and I'm not diggin' it. My next bulbs will be different.

Comments: Great product,great colour,Recommend

Comments: Should have bought this product years ago. The colors of the fish "pop" out, and the overall yellowish color of the tank is replaced by a very pleasing brighter light. Excellent product, and I haven't found this bulb cheaper anywhere!

Comments: I just installed my new light in a oddysea light ficture and I love it.I was looking for a bulb that would give me that brilliant blue color and this is it. Yes I would deffinently recommend this product.

Comments: I just purchased the Coralife 65 Watt 6700K Daylight Colormax Power Compact bulb....I can't believe the difference this has made in my reef tank... my corals came alive this bulb did the job as they said it would.I would recmmend this light to anyone who is having any lighting problems!!!!!!

Comments: these lights make my tank look great!

Comments: THESE CP BULS ARE VERY BRIGHT AND SUPPLIES MY CORAL REEF WITH ENOUGH LIGHT TO EXTEND THIER POLYPS,THE COMBO 10K & ACTINIC 03 ARE VERY BRIGHT ,

Comments: Excellent light for keeping soft corals. The aquarium looks amazing under these lights!

Comments: Love the color! Work great. Showed up in 2 days. Saved $5 bucks a bulb versus local stores. Plus was able to get two at the same time. Much easier than retail. I have been recommending the bulbs and Marine Depot.com to all of my friends. Even some of the ones who do not have fish tanks. Excellent selection, low product to customer times, and deliver the expected products at a good price is paramount, no matter what the interests/products are. Thanks Marine Depot.com.

Comments: Before I bought this product I had some cheaper and nice bulbs in my aquarium, but unfortunately one of it broke pretty soon in my opinion, I replaced it few days a go with this Coralife 65 watt 7100K blue bulb, and I can tell de difference!! and I bet my corals do too! :) It isn´t a very cheap product, but it worths each buck...

Comments: VERY NICE BLUE COLOR. MUCH BLUER THAN ACTINIC.

Comments: for pc lights these are great .2 days after recieving the lights 1 blew out . after a call to marine depot ,very courtious rep, 2 days later i had a new one delivered free of charge. so great lights as well as great service.

Comments: Great bulb great color

Comments: I paired this PC bulb with a 10000K Coralife bulb. Excellent results, the iridescence on my corals really "pop" and the white, organge, and reds on my various gobies look bright as ever! So, if you want to see your fish in GREAT light AND see you corals really perform, get this combination and start with this bulb!

Comments: It had been about one year since the light fixture was purchased with lights installed. The corals were starting to look a bit drab. A friend told me to get a new bulb. I did and the replacement was a breeze. Took about 5 minutes. The tank looks like a brand new one now. The corals and fish have perked up quite a bit. My wife and I love the difference and are planning on replacing the bulb about once a year now.
<br />
<br />The help from Marine Depot was great. They helped me figure out what to get just from a telephone call. Delivery was fast also. I will be using them again.

Comments: I wanted a single actinic 65 watt that gives off the deep purple light,by mistake I ordered the wrong bulb.

Comments: ITS A GREAT LIGHT

Comments: I like the fact you can pick up your order to save on shipping. I spoke to a tech over the phone and he was very knowledgeable. Great service. I will definitely spread the word about you guys!.

Comments: I have been using Coralife bulbs for years now, and the quality has only gotten better over time. A perfect choice for any marine tank. Highly recommended!

Comments: I was surprised when i first put the bulb in my light fixture. It produces a deep blue color, and with my 10k bulb it looks very nice

Comments: Initially I ordered PFO dual ballast. PFO ballast was a bit smaller and had one electrical plug. Coralife was slightly larger and had two plugs. I preferred configuration and dimensions of the PFO, so I ordered it. Mistake.The PFO connects were very pliable rubber and flimsy. I could not get the bulbs to enjoy a snug fit, despite securing cables to the top of my canopy to avoid pull. In two days, a bulb came loose, began smoking, and burnt the connector. If one were not inclined to secure the cables to his canopy, or apply rubber bulb holders to the bulb itself, I would hate to think what would happen when the thing came loose and fell in the water - or just smoked until it touched something that would catch fire...As usual, you guys offered unparalleled customer service, sending me a return shipping label and a Coralife replacement ballast. The Coralife has far better connections. In addition, it has a unique plastic connector that secures the bulb to the connector. All in all, you are just buying a powercompact light. Don't overthink it. Get something safe!!!!

Comments: this is a good buy

Comments: Coralife Actinic 03 bulbs tend to have more of a pinkish/purple tint to them than I prefer. I tried to remedy the situation by combining both a 50/50 10000k and Actinic 03 bulb with a 50/50 Deep Blue and Actinic 03 bulb and the color is much more pleasing.

Comments: Excellent bulb when combined with the 6700k bulb. The true antinic side gives great color pop while the blue side cancels out the greenish/yellow coloring of the 6700k bulb. Excellent growth off this combination.

Comments: If you're looking for new bulbs than I'm assuming your corals are starting to dive. The colormax bulb really brought out my softies. I had some zoos that got a baby blue ring in them that never existed before. Even though these fall highly into the white spectrum, you will still see your colors "flouresce" with these bulbs. Anyone that wants an overall bluer color should find a different spectrum.. these bulbs do a very good job at providing white light and still have the color properties of actinics.

Comments: I like this bulb over the 10000K in smaller tanks, especially nanos. Yes, it is a little more green/yellow then the white/blue of the 10000K, but with a duel antinic running with it, you see no difference. I also find the growth of my corals to be much faster then under the 10000K.

Comments: I've got a Coralife Power Compact retro kit on my 75 gallon semi-reef tank (2 65W actinic and 2 65W 10000K daylight bulbs). They have always been good bulbs and have been consistently reliable. I've tried cheaper no name brand bulbs before and have had issues with them. The set I just replaced consisted of two Coralife 10000K and two no name Actinic's. The no names worked but the ends started to come off and were pulling away from the main body of the bulb something that has never happened with the Coralife.
<br />
<br />The only issue that I have had with the Coralife is that they fit really snug in the endcaps and after a year or so when it's time to replace them they can be a real bear to get off.
<br />
<br />Also I just want to add that I switched to Marine Depot from another well known mail order fish place that I had been doing business with for years because the one time I actually needed some help in the selection of a new pump their customer service was horrible, (I never could get anyone to help me). Called Marine Depot and they were Johnny on the spot with customer service and knowledgeable advice and I've been doing all my mail order business with them ever since.
