Seems that Stephane has known for a long time that SE bulbs are superior in many ways, but from a business perspective DE are a better sale (higher margins). And he should know, having extensive experience from the hobby and business side of the debate.

It also seems he recommends standard ballasts over electronic. You'll notice that Steve refers to his HQI ballasts as "tar" as they aren't electronic either.

Wanna buy your Radium setup back?
