    ATI blue + has one of the highest par ratings if that helps answer your question.

    I like the UVL 454. If your using a combo I like the Geismann pure actinic combined with the 454.

    The bulb you are looking for is the UVL Super Actinic, seeing as UVL (previously known as URI) makes the most commonly used T12VHO actinic bulb.
