URI T5 actinics

[steveoutlaw]

Has anybody tried these yet? Reefgeek is selling some made by ATI....are these the same thing?

[dhoch]

URI and ATI are 2 different companies...

 

The actinics they make ARE different.

 

I have not really seen a lot on the URI ones, but the ATIs are more purple in color than URI VHOs that we like so much.

Steve,

 

I had a chance to talk to Johnny at the social a few weeks ago about the URI T5 actinics. If I recall, he advised me that they are marketing it as a overdriven very blue bulb and it's not like a true VHO actinic or even the Geismann T5 actinics. I believe it's more like a 20k t5. That being the case, I'd say either a) use VHOs as I still don't think the T5 actinics can match or b) go with the Geismann as it's still a true actinic.

 

If I'm wrong on that description of the URI feel free to correct me.
