I agree. One video of a bright light and suddenly it's The Second Coming. Let's sit back and see how this new technology develops before hysteria creates impossible expectations. I seem to remember the same sort of "OMG! OMG! OMG!" syndrome when PFO came out with their LEDs and we all know what's happened since.

Don't get me wrong, I think plasma and LEDs are the future, but they're not quite ready for prime time it seems just yet. It's become sort of like the plug-in electric car of reefing.
