I really just know from posts from a couple people who have them. Nobody ever seems to compalin about them. I had a PC fixture from CSL which was the name of Current before they were bough out and it was a solid built unit.

Thanks Grim, I wish I knew a little more about them, there isn't even away of looking up how they do in the par department, no one has ever tested these brand bulbs or ballast that i know of. and I wonder how the actinics look. things were so much simpler 5 years ago. lol
Thanks

I have done PAR on the current T5's, they are OK and the 460nm blue lamp looks ballpark compared to the "good" T5 blues. Dont know about their actinics or halides, sorry

someone should test their halides, just because these fixtures are so popular and are big sellers.
