T5 bulb combination?

[matt_97055]

I am going back to t5 from led. I need some insight on bulbs. I am getting the ATI 24" 8 bulb dimmable. The bulbs we have come with are.

2-purple plus
2-actinic
2-coral plus
2-aqua blue special

What's your thoughts???

No blue plus? Personally 4 bulbs would be blue plus and maybe 5. The other 4 would be 2 coral plus 1 purple plus and 1 aquablue special. When they're all on it would have a white appearance. For a more blue appearance ditch the aquablue and replace it with a blue plus.

Here's a good link for bulb combos.

I agree with Pete. If I were running an 8 bulb I would probably do 5 blue+, a coral+, a purple+ and an actinic.

Never seen a combo like that one. I have zero idea how it will look.

I personally run combos no where close to that for a 14-16k look.

With the coral plus purple plus aquablue and actinic combo I would assume it's going to be pretty white with a pinkish purple tint.

This is what I found on a ati thread. I screen shot them for when my fixture comes in.

I like 5 blue plus 2 purple plus and 1 GE6500K. The giesemann bulbs are really good as well.

I would do
5 blue+
1 coral+
1 purple+
1 actinic


Or
4 blue+
2 CORAL+
1 purple +
1 actinic
