Xanium X2's

[StirCrazy]

ya.. I am not going to run out and buy them I just saw such a hype being made over them that I wanted more info.. like you said I am going to be waiting about 6 months, but I fugure that will let me look at the different types of bulbs better and compare them some more.. HQI is nice (and still at the top of my list) but I have some isues withit in the way of mounting it in my hood. If I can find another bulb that will give me close to the same amount of output and still look good I just might get that instead.
This also goes to show how screwed up this lighting isue is.. hell Dr. Ron advocates PC's over MH.

I usaly do my research and then make a desision but this is one area that truley has me screwed up. Hell do I even realy need MH? from what I have been reading laitly I could just add another two 96watt PC's and be fine. there have been several dessusions out there I have been reading that are saying that the MH crazy has been way over stated.. is this going to stop me from buyng some sort of MH system.. problably not..

the Tests do look interesting on thease new bulbs so far. Dana Riddle is suspecting that the 15000K bulbs are actualy 40000 to 50000K, I never realized how screwed up the markiting was for bulbs.
also I have learned that the Xanium are a new asian entry into the market so the might be something to watch.. mabe we will starrt seeeing better bulbs at cheeper prices? mabe not...
