    Osram is a well know brand, so quality may be better as they may have been in the lighting business longer. To the naked eye they may not seem different, so it's hard to say which better.

    So far I've been using AEC tubes and they do do pretty well for my tank. Opted for this tube cos it was cheaper and more easily available.
    Cheers!!

    The Osram PL tube mentioned should be 6000K. So it is should be yellowish light. May look quite dull.

    The philips 865 or AEC is 6500K is daylight white would be more suitable for the planted tank.

    Mech is right!

    Personally between 6000K and 6500K < I can't tell the difference. both looks the same colour to me. I spoke to a light specialist, he says for a planted tank, colour 86 would suffice.
    I'm using 2 osram 36watts Dulux L 86 and 2 phillps 36watts 865 n it's doing a great job for my plants.

    Yeah want to know about the super white light .
    The current AEC ones i got from Nature are daylight...more yellow to the eye.
    Asked the guy there , he say 10k will be closer to whitish blue , not yellowish.

    Artvale,

    The AEC should be 6500K, daylight. Warm white should be less than 6000K which is yellowish. If I'm not mistaken, the daylight tubes are quite white. If the Kelvin was higher, it would look more bluish already.

    LSZ,
    There are PLs higher than 6500K, but not so easily available in the market. Some shops may agree to get them for you but you need to buy bulk.
    Cheers!!
