Hey tin! I will give you a little overview on the power compact craze. One of my other hobbies is keeping a 50 gallon coral reef aquarium. I use 2 50/50 10,000k and 420 460 nm blue antenic wich affects cholorphyl a & c wich is also present in plants,orchids etc. The lights are only burning 96 watts of power but boy they through out the full spectrum. I had upgraded my reef tank lighting from floursent to power compact, now I am upgradeing to 175 watt 10,000 k hqi metal halide and 2 96 watt blue antenics. my orchids have done very awsome ever since I used reef aquarium blubs for grwing orchids. try it you,ll love it. heres a picture of my reef tank with the bulbs I am currently using.
