I didn't like it because I thought there was too much blue. [img]smile.gif[/img] Also, I thought the 10,000K wasn't white enough. It seemed yellow.

If you haven't seen these yet. I've got comparisons between Coralife and my old GE bulbs.

This photo is Coralife 10,000K on left and Coralife 50/50 on the right.



In the next photo, Coralife 10,000K is on the left and a 6 month old GE 9325K is on the right.



I found that the GE bulb brought out the purples, browns, greens, and all colors better and crisper.
