I have Iridus Power Compact replacement lamps 10,000k and Actinic 03's in both straight pin and square pin configurations. 65watt lamps $13.50 each.
96watt lamps $25 each.

Mike,

The Actinic bulbs...are these true actinics and not those blue bulbs sold as actinic?

Thanks,
Kohji

IF they're the same ones I picked up from Mike, they are true 03 actinics.

Is it just me or do these bulbs have a kind of"purple looking" light about them? I have had the custom sea life bulbs in the past and they give off a"blue looking " color. Anyone know what I mean or am I just crazy?

The lamps are the true Actinic 03's not the 7100k blue actinic's. The 65 watt lamps will fire and run on a 55watt retro fit system. The only system I know of that they cannot be used on are the Jalli 55watt fixtures (the fixtures are 1 inch to short to accommodated the 65 watt lamps)

you should not have any problem running the Iridus 65 watt lamps. But if you want to try one let me know if it does not work for you you can return the lamp and I'll refund the purchase price....

Just an FYI-- I run 65 watt lamps on my 55 watt PFO ballast since the only make certain bulbs in 65 watt, and they run just fine.
