specifically the blue ones im so curious im about to order one .it doesnt have a color temp,but the dominate wavelength is 462 http://www.venturelighting.com/Lamps%20Frame%20Page.htm click on designer color

It appears these two might work for 03 bulbs:

55186 MH 175W/U/MED/BDX M57 ED17 Medium E26 Clear Universal Enclosed Blue Deluxe 462 77 5000

70940 MH 175W/U/BDX M57 ED28 Mogul
E39 Clear Universal Enclosed Blue Deluxe 462 77 5000

as the color spectum/ Dominant Wavelength appears to near what you want for an 03 type light.

ice ,thats what im thinking,supplemental blue halides

70940 MH 175W/U/BDX M57 ED28 Mogul
E39 Clear Universal Enclosed Blue Deluxe 462 77 5000
this is the one that id be interested in,it has a mogul base.i have a 2x175 watt setup,a 400 watt,and an icecap 660 for my new 120.im thinking 400w iwasaki,4 110 w 50/50's,and two 175 w blue halides for dawn dusk.the halide comes on slow,where as the flourescents click right on.i think blue halides would simulate a sunrise awesome!

You guys are talking about the "03" actinic bulbs as being 462 nm....thats not right...
The true actinic ("03") bulbs emit light at 420nm. The site says it is indeed a blue bulb but i dunno if it would flourence them??
I could be wrong since I really don't know much about light...but i DO know that the true actinics are at 420nm...

masta j youre right actinic 03 bulbs spectral peak is 420 nanometers.but 463 isnt that far off,and i beleive ive read that anywhere between 420-450 nanometers(narrowing the gap a bit more) is beneficial to corals.so i dont know,but im really curious;) .aside form the numbers,how do they "look",thats what i want to know.ive already sent them an inquiry,and dont be surprised if you see some pics of em next week god help me im addicted
