I have them in my IceCap fixture (2xblue), A little too bright in my opinion for use moonlights (intended purpose I believe) as I think they are even brighter than the T5HO's (one actinic and one Fiji Purple)...

Brighter than the two I listed...I actually turned them around backwards so the heat sink side is towards the water in an attempt to tone them down a bit.

They came included with my fixture, but now that IceCap is out of bussiness, I don't know where you can get them from, check with old IceCap retailers and see if any of them have any retro fit kits left...
