irshprncsk Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Anyone know if there is a significant difference in Coralife, Sunpaq, and All-Glass compact Fluorescents? My main concerns are obviously lux output and bulb life. All-glass is significantly less expensive than Coralife and if there is no other difference I'd prefer to save the $. I would be using them in a Coralife fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky1168 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I don't have an answer for you but I am wanting to know myself. I also have a coralife power compact fixture. How often do you change your bulbs? I have only had mine for about 7 months. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I am also awaiting this answer. I am going to have to buy new bulbs for my CF lights, and would like to know before I do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundy24 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Id go with the sunpaq bulbs. Both the actinic and daylight bulbs come in dual spectrums. 10000/6700k daylight and 420/460nm actinic as well as single spectrum bulbs. More color choices and more complete spectrum. IMO the sunpaq bulbs will give you a better looking tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irshprncsk Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Do they come in straight pin that will fit the aqualight dual 48" fixtures, though? I know they need to be 21" to fit end-to-end and some bulbs are longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
