Lighting help? - 08-30-2007, 05:52 PM

I work for a civil engineering firm, and sometimes we have a lighting sales rep come in to talk to us about their fixtures and what not, for indoor and outdoor lighting, for us to spec on our plans.

Well, they came in today, and after the meeting I got to talking to one of the guys about a light bulb for my fixture, and he wants me to send him some information on what I have now, and what I would like to have for it

I have the 36" long coralife lunar aqualight, with 2x96watt bulbs, and 2 blue led moonlights. I currently have a 6700K bulb and a 10000K bulb, but I only use the one 6700K.

So my question is, what is the best possible bulb type if he was to get someone to make me a bulb? 34" long, what wattage? and what "K" rating, for plants?

Thanks very much
Eric
