    Or swing by a locals house and do the same, either way it will work out. And no, I dont believe in magic. You cant go completely by the results of one guys experiments, if anything that is more like believing in magic.

    And I am sorry as coming off as bigoted, I am willing to test a ton of lights without adding any compensation for either one.

    His tests don't represent one guy... they are typically posted in peer reviewed articles that have been critiqued by a huge number of people and receive an enormous amount of scrutiny. It's as scientific and clear of emotion as you can get.

    I will devise a side by side experiment, if the chinese fixtures dont beat the 250watt mh, I will build a cree fixture, with a 125watt power limit, that will beat it. I will think something up and get more details down for you guys.

    And also, by doubling the power, i meant getting the same power with half the watts. Double the power of a 250watt mh pendent with only a 120watt fixture is ludicrous, but equalling the power is certainly achieveable. When I said double the power before, I meant with 2 120watt fixtures for every 250watt mh pendent, twice the power with the same amount of ekectricity, see what I am saying?

    I though you were going to get the 150 watt or 175 watt I suggested? Did you forget already?
