This is an excellent color bulb to provide a natural color light--I use an 18 inch in a small glass bow front tank. It puts out a lot more light than the Coralife 10K and is not as blue. It also is not as yellow as the Tropical Sun or Sun-Glo bulbs and results in better colors on fish and the best colors of any lamp on river bottom gravel. My plant does well in it too. I wish Hagen provided the lamp in a 14W 15 inch size for my Hex. I don't have a double fixture lamp to try this bulb in tandem with another, but if I did I'd try it with an Aqua-Glo to see if the intense fish colors of the Aqua-Glo lamp combine well with the natural spectrum of the Life-Glo. I find the Sun-Glo a bit to yellow even in combo with the Aqua-Glo.
Having been a long time tropical fish hobbyist, I've seen many lighting configurations. This bulb is an upgrade for most inexpensive fluorescent fixtures typically supplied with a less capable lamps. At 6700K, 95 LUX and 960 lumens it's a winner.
