I've calculated the PUR-efficiency for a (very) similiar photosynhtesis action spectra for a couple of bulbs here:

The higher value the better the bulb hits inside the action spectrum and thus trigger photosynthesis the most.
Hint: Tri-phosphorus bulbs often have very good action spectrum conformity yielding high PUR-efficiency.. |
I'll second that last statement ! Something in a tri-phosphor bulb would produce very good results The combination of the Tritons, and Blue Moon reef lights worked GREAT on a 1 to 1 ratio at appx. 3 - 4 WPG any good Tri-phosphor bulb combined W/ a blue spectrum above actinic at appx. 465 nm was optimum.
