Comparison of the 250W Mogul XM 15000K with its 20000K counterpart reveals very similar results to that of the 400W lamp, as seen in figure 10, and similarly for the 250W DE lamps as seen in figure 11.
Figure 10: Spectral comparison of a XM 250W 15000K lamp with a XM 20000K lamp

Though not near as blue as the 20k's, the 15K's PPFD is only a hair stronger than the 20k's. I was hoping the 15 k would be a lot stronger.

I know, it is the same as the other test, not a very good light. The 10K is much better

I would like to make an request to XM...

Dear XM:
Please increase the PPFD of your 250 watt 15k SE bulb..... a lot!

Thank you.

Why not try the Aquaconnect 14k's or the Phoneix Hexarc 14K's?
Better PAR/PPFD and nice blue tint...not too blue, not too white...nice balance.

Thanks Nick

I do like this color bulb. I'll have to see what is available in 8 mos when these 15k's need replacing.
