ReefLux is the first true 10000K full spectrum metal halide bulb to be offered to the aquarium market. Other manufacturers claim to offer a 10000K lamp but that is just a marketing number of their best attempt to offer a full spectrum 10000K lamp. This is why they have a yellow or orange appearance and need to have some kind of fluorescent actinics to balance it out. Generally the more yellow or orange a bulb the more PAR the bulb will produce. ReefLux offers you the highest PAR rating without having to flood your aquarium with high powered fluorescent blue bulbs. The ReefLux 12000K has the performance of the 10000K but with a touch of blue added.

“Lighting has always been a major debate in the reef aquarium hobby. I have been seriously involved in this hobby for 10 years now, and I can honestly say that I have tried every combination of lighting and every brand of metal halide bulb on the market! I had mixed results with all of them until I discovered the ReefLux metal halide bulbs from CoralVue. I started with five 400-watt 10K ReefLux bulbs, but within two weeks I noticed a significant difference in both the growth and coloration of my corals. I then decided to remove my VHO lamps because they were not needed with these 10K lamps. I continued using the 10Ks for six months and noticed that the corals' growth was out of control. I then decided to try the ReefLux 12K lamps, and I was equally impressed with the noticeable blue hue they produced. I wanted to try these in order to get more “pop” in the corals' color. I was really surprised that the corals' growth did not slow down, and the SPS were turning to insane colors! I have to give quite a bit of credit to these lamps for the success I have had with my reef. I run all five metal halides in CoralVue Lumenarc mini reflectors and they're powered by CoralVue 400-watt electronic ballasts. I found that the correct combination of bulb and ballast is the key to getting the best results out of your lighting.”
