New lighting - new technology????
stephane, whare did this 95.00 / bulb come from..last time I checked it was only 50.00 for the 85 watt moddel. anyways aside from that I don't think this would be a option to replace a MH (like you said lets "compare aple whith aple") a compact floressent is going to be lower than a MH anyday.. but if you ae comparing thease against a 96 watt PC then they are good.. they are cheeper , require no ballast, only 12" long, and have about the same lumen. so for smaller tanks, or non-sps tanks they wouldbe great as you can put more in the same amount of space to cheeper.
look on the net a two 96watt PC set up costs almost 500.00 retail.. I can buy 8 to 10 of the other ones for thisand have 4 to 5 times the amount of light.. or maby just put one on a 10 gal refuge.. who knoes.. I will go to albrite today and confirm the price but I am sure it was lower than 50.00
