Ira Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Thought since I gave someone a hard time in the FW forum about taking before and after pics with different camera settings, here's my new bulbs. Top is the old bulbs, 14K something or others. Middle is the new bulbs, 12K reeflux after about 10 minutes warmup time newly installed, bottom is after 4 days. Pictures taken with 1/60second shutter, 2.6 aperature, 200 iso and color balance on Fine. Doesn't seem to be a huge difference in brightness so far. But I think I like these ones much better. Seems to bring out the colors better compared to the kind of washed out whitish blue of the 14K bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboi Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 u can differently see the difference in the color the 14K has more of a blue/purple tinge to it compare to the new bulb which seem to be a lot whiter and penetrates deeper too but that mite be because the 14K was getting too old?

TM Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I got some reeflux 12k DE bulbs a couple of months ago. I quite like them they are not as bright as my old bulbs though (XM10k). Will stick with them a bit longer. Would be nice if they were brighter but the look of them is great. Light output 6/10 (reeflux) Light output 8/10 (XM) Color 8/10 (reeflux) Color 5/10 (xm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 That's about as close as I can get them to the water without removing the center brace. My camera's just going blind I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
