Re: plasma/hid/xenon suggestions?

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

well, the color temp (read - hue) of the light from the ones ive seen is in
the 4100K to 4300K range.
Normal halogen bulbs are in the 3000K to 3500K range. The plasma guys get
away with saying their bulbs output 100 watts of 'light energy', they mean
their 55 watt plasma bulb can output the equivalent light of a 100 watt
halogen bulb. Thats mainly due to the wider spectrum of light that it puts
out.

As soon as i can find a company that has a decent set in both h4 and h3,
i'll get them most likely. the cost adds up, so naturally im shopping around
a bit before i do it.
Thanks for the replies so far.
