    Sponsors section here, check out AAT. They are great, with good prices.

    I would go ATI or Giesemann, better PAR essentially same price....
    ATI's have some of if not the highest PAR ratings on most of their lamps....

    What spectrum are you looking to have?
    What is your biggest selling point, cost, power or look?

    Well, what are your parameters? I would bet they are just as much to blame as lighting....
