GE Edison?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone tried these? I saw one in person today, and they have a beautiful light, very high apparent color rendition index. I imagine the 70 watters would make fantastic nano lighting... I'd really like to see a PAR reading though.

Looks to me like it would make a fine fuge (or possibly nano) bulb if it comes in the right K rating.

I just bought a two pack so I could actually see if it was worth using these over my fuges.

IMO my 13watt 5000k florescent puts out as much light as the 60watt Edison. The florescent has a more even spread than the Edison. The Edison had more of a spot light effect directly under the bulb. The florescent, at 5000k is much bluer than the Edison leading me to believe that the Edison has a very low K rating and would be useless on reef tank in any capacity.
At least the Edisons will make good light to read by.

They will probably be 3500K. That is pretty typical of that type lamp. Rated lmp life is about 2-3000 hrs, lumen output for the 60W is around 900. Lumen output for the CFL should be around 800. A lower color temp could be quite useful on a fuge for algae growth. One reson many "grow lights" are HPS.
