Hello Stircrazy,

AB bulbs are manufactured by Osram and are good quality bulbs which can be comparable, to a certain limit, to BLV line of bulbs. The question for me is not to claim wich company have better bulbs in their fixture but rather wich lighting product, globaly, will produce the most efficient result. If we look at bulbs alone i am can say i am very confortable selling BLV bulbs both for their quality and efficiency.

I do beleive that Giesemann lighting system are ahead of competition not only from the aesthetic point of view but also in the way they deliver the light to the aquarium. I am in Germany right now and i am looking at the manufacturing process of each model and for me it;s a piece of art. I will post detailed pics on the way they proceed and hope it will put light on the qaulity of the work done.

As for the efficiency of the system, i know the result of the test we performed on the new electronic system and will have no problem at all to put it next to ANY other fixture of the same category. Moreover, i am working ´closer now to get it tested by an independant group as i already promised before in previous post to get precise information on the lighting system.

We have our forum now on Reefcentral and i invite everyone to visit us and have a chat there. Their a lot of satisfied AB user and their also a lot of satisfied Giesemann user also (as well as PFO, DIY system, ect..). We sell the best and will always work in order to be the first in line!
