Just thought I'd update this.
Switched 2 T5's in an RSM250 over from stock T5 bulbs. I am unimpressed. I don't see the difference from T5 to these. I was expecting/hoping for some better coloration and pop. Really, they look almost identical to T5's and I think maybe not quite as nice as some higher end T5's like ATI. My experience MAY be better if I had switched all bulbs over, but after seeing the two, I'm not going to try it and will be sticking with ATI.

I've been looking into this a bit and it seems like there are 2 different opinions on these lights.
Some love them and some seem to be disappointed with the coloration. I have noted that in a lot of the reviews I've read that are similar to mine, only 1 or 2 bulbs were switched out. Whereas on a lot of the reviews that are very positive, it seems like all or most bulbs have been switched out... I had really high hopes for this product, so I think I am going to pick up 2 more (for a total of 4 out of 6 bulbs) and revisit this thread. The LED's come on a few seconds before the T5's do, and in that flash, things do look really nice, so I think there is some merit to this idea.

I received a blue daylight in a trade and bought a blue pop from JL...
I want to add 2 more blue pop and see how things look. If your Kessil is white-ish, the Blue Pops are probably the way to go. I'm gonna pick a couple up this weekend, if I don't like them, I will be happy to sell them to you for a discount.

I will say that it seems like the T5's drown out the euroquatics....so you may get better supplementation from T5's if you aren't worried about heat or power savings...
Would def be interested in your thoughts if you do get them.
