Anyone know Kelvins of Reptisuns?

Just wondering if anyone knows the Kelvin outputs of the Reptisuns 2.0, 5.0, and 10.0.

Would appreciate it...thanks!

Sorry, I don't know what the kelvin temp of Reptisuns are, but I can tell you it's probably pretty low. They're generally a very 'dim' looking bulb in just about any length from 18 inch all the way up to 48 inch. In order to maintain natural looking light I've always used a single Reptisun in a fixture with a daylight spectrum bulb - eg. a bulb with over 5500k and and a CRI of over 85.

Just measure it in Celsius, add 273.15 and you'll have the temperature in Kelvins.
