kelvin on replacement bulb
 

I am using a 32W smart lamp 50/50 10K/actinic from customsealife and was wondering that for replacements, I could use a 4100K generic bulb.

what are the disadvantages of that?

thanks in advance

Not as blue. :eek:

Re: kelvin on replacement bulb
 

like Bob said not as blue and it is more heavy into the red spectrum.. also because of this there will be a lower PAR output of say a simular bulb inthe 6500 to 10K range.

so does this mean don't do it?

thanks

I'd say don't do it, 4100k isn't a good colour light in my opinion.
