The actinic + is not an actinic at all and is just a bluer spectrum bulb and similar to the ATI Blue + but most consider the ATI the superior bulb. The Aquablue Plus is actually rated at 11k not 15k and is similar to the ATI Aquablue Special, but again the ATI is considered the better bulb by most.

the aqua blue plus by giesman are a 15k bulb. yes ati is considered a little better bulb

Odd... most of the retailers list it as an 11k bulb but Geismann lists it as 15k. I wonder what the explanation for that is.
