Oh, look at this!

Philips Aquarelle

The Philips Aquarelle is a mercury vapory fluorescent light that is
very
efficient for indoor gardening. The 30-watt Philips Aquarelle model
produces 10,000K (Kelvins--a thermodynamic temperature scale) of natural
light which allows plants to achieve photosynthesis as they normally
would outdoors. In addition, the bulb actually stimulates oxygen output
in the plants with this light spectrum. It is one of the best T8 bulbs
because of its energy efficiency, color rendering (promotes
photosynthesis and oxygen) and affordable price.


Now I have to go find them and see the prices!...




Following up on this, it seems that many of the ones mentioned in that
article arent available in the U.S. BUT, Googling: 10,000k t8
looks like a good starting point!
