I have seen them around for sale with the claim that they are the next t-5.But mostly they are for make up mirrors and under counter lights.I have never found much info on them.I did notice that no retailer of aquarium equipment was selling them.

Aquatraders was the only company pushing them. I can't see how a larger bulb is going to direct more light into a tank if you're using good reflectors unless you're able to increase the bulb wattage substantially.
