Reefbrite Twin Arc

[56longroof]

Anyone here using the Reefbrite Twin Arc bulbs? I just switched from a Reefbrite 250W 10k to a Twin Arc and I'm not too impressed so far. It doesn't seem as bright and has more blue tint. I know there is a burn in time but even then it's no where near what the old bulbs started at.

How are the lights doing for you now?

I took them out and put in a pair of XM 10k's. I was lucky enough to find 6 of the XM's. I may go back to the Twin Arcs in the future. I dont know if they needed more burn in time or what but they just didn't do it for me.

I’m using Reef Brite Twin Arc 250w 20K bulbs. They are slightly less blue and more warm white than Radium or Hamilton. The twin arcs also look brighter to the eye with better shimmer.

I didn’t notice any change in my acros when I went from Hamilton to Reef Brite bulbs.

The 10k seemed not as bright and more blue than the regular Reefbrite 10k's I had in there. So far the XM's are performing excellent. I wish I could find more.
