comment on coralvue 250w 15k needed

does any one have experience on this bulb? it's on sale now for only $42

Ask the LFS to plug one in so that you can see if you like the color. The spectrum is fine for corals.

Thank you,
glad to hear the spectrum is fine.
Blue is what I want but hope it's not too blue like 20k though. I've owned the sunburst 12k and I don't think it's blue enough for my taste. So I hope the 15k gonna be nice.
Don't know how long these bulbs are gonna last since they're too cheap compared to other brands. Have you two had any problem with these bulbs?

I have the 250 coralvue 12k and it's not that blue. If you want blue I would go with the 15k.

coralvue 250 15K is the bomb! I really like the color and it fires instantly by my Ice Cap 250w ballast. I've used it for 4 days already, corals open up very nicely and coloration is just perfect!!! Cheap price too!
