Jim,

How "yellow" looking are 5600k bulbs?

As far as I can tell, they are bright white, same as the sun.

Anyone using the new SunPaq bulbs?? Specifically, anyone try a SunPaq
Dual
Daylight (6700k / 10000k) bulb in a planted tank?

I'm currently using a 10,000k bulb... but was considering switching to
the
one above??

I've read that they produce 3x the light of a standard power compact with
the same wattage rating...and last longer...?

thoughts??

5600K bulb will emit about the same light that the sun emits.
This has nothing to do with brightness, and bulbs that are very high in
the color spectrum, (10,000k) have no value to plant growth.
