Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phillips and Osram data from Joe Sellinger:
===========================================
Osram does not supply design lumens.
All of this info was taken from the manuals not real world testing.
All of this info is what I thought to be applicable to fish and invert keeping.
Helpful phone numbers:
Osram Specialty Lamps 800-762-7191
Consumer Products 800-842-7010
Industrail/Commercial 800-255-5042
Phillips Customer Servive 800-445-6390
Magnetec Customer Service 800-ballast
Most bulbs under 4 foot are preheat bulbs and require a starter, bulbs >=
four foot are rapid start. Check first.
Prices are aprox. I buy most of my phillips blubs from Grainger and PennPlax
from local pet stores, Osram from Splain Electric (Livonia,Mi).
Crompton data from Len Trigg:
=============================
>Here is some more I got from a Crompton brochure...
>All these bulbs are 26mm (1") diameter, tri-phosphor. The catalog doesn't
>give their lengths, I would guess that if you took the Wattage as inches
>you'd have it.
>The catalog says use "Series 80 colours in every environment where people
>live and work. This family provides an optimum choice between efficiency
>and a colour rendering index of 85." and goes on to say that "Series 90
>colours have a superb colour rendering of 95 to be used in those areas
>where colour rendering should be as good as possible (clothing shops,
>department stores, museums)." So I guess this means the RA rating above is
>the same as a CRI in the original post.
>The catalog also has the above specs for some non-tri-phosphor bulbs that
>have a RA rating of 72 and a colour temp of 6200K if you want them. I
>haven't put them in above because the catalog says they are "Standard
>colours with a poor average colour rendering index, to be used in locations
>where colour rendering properties are not important (warehouses, parking
>lots, store rooms)." The catalog has a page with bulb reccomendations for
>various applications, and for aquariums they suggest those tubes listed
>above, along with some with lower colour temperatures (2700K - 4000K).
GE Data from George Booth:
==========================
>Data from "GE Lighting Selection Guide (Form 9200) 20th Edition, 1991"
>Note: Almost all lamps are available in the Watt-Miser series (post-fix

>Note: SP and SPX lamps are "Tri Phosphor" types

George I really hacked your post to make it fit into the matrix.
If I did to poorly let me know.

I finally ran across the elusive 800 number for Rolf C. Hagen company,
and so used the opportunity to get info on their xxxx-glo fluorescent bulbs.
They didn't have complete data, and no CRI data, but now we have some basis
for comparison. The data below is for the 40 watt bulbs, all T-10:
lumens lux K degrees
Power-glo 2200 180 5400
Sun-glo 3100 NA 4200
Aqua-glo 960 NA NA
Life-glo NA 475 6700 (internal reflector)
Flora-glo 2180 NA 2800
Marine-glo 1480 NA NA (probably above 7000)
FWIW,
Mark.
