new halide bulb?

[zolar]

just saw comments on a new ceramic metal halide bulb by philips

supposed to be HPS retro [P-5497] the spectrum chart by philips is damn near a full spectrum with lots of blue and red

has anybody used them or seen them

some body on another board claims the 400 will kick a 600 HPS bulbs ass

i might believe it the spectra chart from philips shows a lot more output bin addition to more of a full spectrum compared philips chart to 400 watt agromax bulb box chart and looks like it does kick out way more both colors and brightness thats a warm halide bulb

anyone with firsthand info?

The 400s I was looking at work in an HPS ballast of which I have 2. Just need to find somewhere to purchase the little darlings and the coin to do it with.

Spare change? :0)

Here's a place for more info.
