Hi can someone tell me the difference beween a duel daylight bulb and just a regular daylight bulb, and also the difference between the duel actinics Thanks Alex any info would be appreciated
Well, normally those whom duel with daylight bulbs are burned more easily than with actinics. Of course, you'd just be scorched by ultra-light saber made by Corallife XD
Seriously, I think a dual daylight bulb is just two bulbs parallel to each other and possibly connected, take power compacts for example
"Dual Daylight" bulbs (compact fluorscent) often have two different colors in the two bulbs - 6700k in one tube, 10000k in the other. The exact color "temperature" will vary depending on the exact description for the bulb. Regular daylight bulbs will just have the same color in both bulbs. Same thing goes with Dual Actinics - one bulb will have 420nm, the other 460nm... or something like that.
