Are all 50/50 bulbs 10,000k/actinic?

Just as the title says I just got my TRU 50/50 bulb which is a 10000k/actinic hybrid. I'm wondering if they make 50/50's with 6700k (or other daylight bulb) or if the standard is 10000k/actinic?

I remember now how much I like the 50/50 bulbs, that cool blue hue that gives the green plants many shades of green/blue, and the colors on my tiger barbs and powder blue gourami look great!

I'll try to get a pic at some point.

I'd say that from what I've seen 99.9% of 50/50 bulbs are 10000K/Actinic. There's probably at least one odd ball out there with a different mix, but I haven't seen it yet.
