Ai prime sol 16 vs ai prime 16hd

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I notice that there are 2 new coral growing ai primes out. The ai prime sol 16 and the ai prime 16hd. What is the difference? They are only like 20$ difference from one another and seem very similar to one another. What's the benefit to one over the other?

The AI Prime SOL only utilizes blue and white leds, similar to the old style AI lights. The Prime 16HD utilizes
Cool White, Blue, Royal Blue, Red, Green, Violet, UV, and Moonlight leds for a much wider spectrum.

So the prime 16hd is better? Why would one buy the sol? Just for the old fashioned look?

Correct. The 16HD has a wider spectrum, I have no personal experience with the sol's though.
