20k T-5's?

Does anyone know if they sell 20K T-5 bulbs ???

The blue bulbs, 460nm. have about the same look. ATI Blue + is one

All of the blue lamps ATI blue plus, Giesemann actinic plus and other 450nm/460nm lamps are generally considered 20,000K +. They give off nice pop to fluorescent pigments in corals and appear very bright blue when used alone. Personally they appear more monochromatic blue than 20,000K halides to me.

ATI Blue + is probably the most popular T5 bulb (of all types) on the market; Geisemann Actinic + probably second most popular blue bulb. Don't really know anyone running anything else sorry. Might check Grimreefers web site http://tfivetesting.googlepages.com/
