For those interested in the Blue Pop, found some pictures on their Facebook page you may want to take a look at. Looks very promising...

Got my euroquatics t5 led
- Thread starter Authentic
- Start date
I had not thought about getting rid of my reefbrite stripbut considering the blue pop as an alternative is a very good thought for others that are running the straight T5. I am however looking forward to a little savings on my electric bill and I believe that they will be running cooler as well.
OK, received 2 Blue Pops today and installed them. Sorry for the crappy pics, was trying to do all while trying to meet a work deadline 
Build quality is pretty good, feels pretty solid. As you can see, the backside of the bulb contains the heatsink as pictured below
They went in perfectly, fit is perfect. As far as color goes, wow they're very blue, you can see them below on Ch 1 of my ATI fixture
I did notice that they do tend to "sag" just a little, you may be able to see this on the left bulb in the pic below. Nothing too bad, but I've read about this in some forums. Doesn't really bother me.
Now for color, here's my grafted monti frag under blue only (sorry for the crappy pics)
You can see the color difference a little better in the below pics.

After the Blue Pop
So far, I'm happy with what I'm seeing....what do you all think?

Sweet. Getting 2 blue pop on Tuesday. Both going on my Ch1 and channel 2 will be 4 B+ 1C+ and 1P+. It might be to blue for my liking so I could end up going with two C+

Will a standard T5 clip/holder fit these?
Just replaced my channel 1 with a blue pop and a geisseman actinic.I'm really liking the blue look that these two bulbs show,definitely a difference from my previous setup and a nice transition from my reefbrite to my daylight setting.the fact that the blue pop will last is also a big plus for me.I now have 3 euroquatic and 5 geisseman
The blue pop is on with a geisseman actinic bulb,there is a big difference when it comes on after the reefbrite alone.the reefbrite gives that super blue actinic look but I don't think it's helping growth much.the combo w blue pop is still blue but has a lighter hue which seems to have a wider spectrum which I think will help growth compared to RB.it's what I was looking for for dawn dusk.
