Need your input on these lights

Please use the following link and tell me what you think of these bulbs for a CP terrarium. http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp....FA23E50  It puts out 5000K light at the equivalent of a 90 watt incandescent.  I think 2 bulbs would probably suffice in a tank that is 20"x10".  Any more and I would need a welders mask to view my plants.Thoughts?

I think it has its advantages.  The 5000k is the same as a GE chroma50 that I use.  The chroma's CRI is a tad higher, but more importantly, the bulb you pointed out has higher initial lumens (1400 compared to 875).

My two cents.

Personally Id be woried about the heat output from two of those over a 10 gallon tank.
Theres no question as to whether they will adequately light the space.
