Ash Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I can't complain about the looks of the tri-phosphor tubes - nice clear bright white light & about 1/3 the price of a Power-Glo etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OziOscar Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 These are the ones: http://www.nelt.co.jp/nhe_hp/brbr/brbr.htm The BR-HG range are good and don't seem to lost brightness as swiftly as some of the aqurium brand ones, in my experience. They're so good that when we re-outfitted our printing room at the factory I specified those because the colour matching index is about 88. Normal fluoros are about 60-something and the specialist ones for print areas are only a 90, but are so much more expensive. Also, their brightness for the same power consumption is higher.
