Looks interesting. I wonder how long until it gets tweaked to work for an aquarium...

wow this really caught my attention. 4400 lumens from 270 watts???? thats incredible and coming from a bulb the size of a tic tac! This will definitely open the possibility of putting four bulbs over the 300g cube instead of 2 x400W HQI bulbs on a light mover. I could put 4 of these plasma bulbs running the same wattage as the 2 HQI bulbs. oh boy oh boy oh boy!

I wonder what would happen if water splashed on something that had an internal temp of 6000 kelvin?
