I am building my retrofit 2x65w pc light and when i hook the actinic lamp into the socket and turn it on, the "blue" side is a lot brighter than the 420nm "violet" side. Is this because the violet side has less light than the human eye can detect or is it a faulty lamp? the same thing happens when the lamp is reversed and put into the other socket. the daylight bulb is bright in both sides in both sockets but no matter how the actinic is configured, its always bright blue on one side and a not-so-bright violet on the other side.
Also, do you see any problem using stainless steel as a reflector? i have a piece that has been polished to a mirror that i would going to install instead of aluminum.
