Philips coral care gen 2

[s2k]

Hi - does anyone have a full tank shot using coral care gen 2 with 100% blue and white on? I want to see how “white” it looks. Thanks!

@Sallstrom and @mfinn use these I believe

Until you get that best guess:

The argument being made here is that the CoralCare was designed for the European market first, which strongly prefers a "natural" 10,000-14,000K look. The full-on blue, no-white, actinics-only type reefs that are common in the US are not something that was designed for. BRS tested these lights with blues at 100% and whites at 30% to match the color temp they liked (very blue), so of course the output will be predictably diminished.

Philips CoralCare Gen 2 First look.

Just saw the brs test. Really not impressive, deceptive for this price. Not a bad light but radion and others perform much better. Deceptive is the wrong word, the intended use of this light is different from the way it was tested at by BRS. So by default this light won't perform at full...

Granted just saying 10,000-14,000 is sort of meaningless since you can have any range of tones.
No good comparing them to MH's either since most have "made up" K temps.
BTW that sort of makes an estimate of the second channel alone at like 24000K
The white channel is around 4000K so any "whiteness" can be between 4000-24000k is possible w/ increases/decreases of par of course.

what each K looks like??? But a guess would be more to the violet blue range than deep blue. Most images (accuracy?) lead in that direction.
