um. actinics are the simplest bulbs to get in a major brand,, Phillips created the actinic bulbs for photocopiers. look for a Phillips 03.

PAR is not a complicated thing, don't make it into one. Yes it decreases as a bulb ages, and no you don't need a spectrometer to know if it decreases or not.

I never know Milwaukee made PAR meters, and the only decrepency in how to measure it are which units are the proper ones to use.. it is measured the same either way.

as for lumin, they are pretty much a usesless measurment to us I do own a PAR Meter ( And yes I do know how to use it) and have done long time tracking of PAR decrease in bulbs, while it is n't as much as one would thing there is a decrease over time.
