If you going for sylvania tubes, go for the Marinestar as a "white". Its rated as 15000K. I have three of those and then three blue lights.

I made my own with 50mm pvc cut in half with aluminum tape.

How did this work out in the long run? I am thinking of going the same route. Did the PVC tolerate the heat?
