SA bulb review (part 2, PAR comparisons)

[robbyville]

Thanks again Steve,

I hope that you can get some comparison bulbs to continue with. I will try to accelerate my decision on new bulbs so that at the very least I might have an 8 month old venture for you to try.

In regards to longevity, you are right of course, the Ushio's do have a proven track record. I made a similar decision when I purchased the ventures in that for the price even if they only lasted half as long as the ushio's it would still have been a great deal.

For those considering the SA bulbs, I would suggest the same. If you like the color and par levels, and you trust that in a pinch the vendor will treat you right (Which it seems like Venki and Kyle have been doing), then go for it!
