Bulb selection help.

Which Giesemann bulb would be the closest match to an ati blue plus? The blue plus is out of stock and I need to get an order in. Thanks in advance for the help.

The Giesemann Actinic Blue seems closest in spectrum to the ATI blue+ but it looks like it's more powerful

If you’re referring to BRS being out, Marine Depot has them depending on the size you need

Here's the BRS video.

T5 bulb's secret sauce? Why are they the reefing "gold standard" and can LEDs compare? | BRStv Investigates

There is no question that T5's can make some pretty EPIC tanks! ... But what's the secret behind their success? We all will learn something today as start unravelling those secrets by comparing those color channel switches on our LEDs to the spectrum in 16-different T5 bulbs!

good info as usual guys, I am finally ordering all the stuff I need to get the water change system setup in the garage, and needed that one bulb to change, guess I'll just have to give up that 2 par since the ati blue plus I prefer isn't in stock.
