I was at the local hydro store 2day and I had to buy a new eye hortilux bulb and I seen that they came up with a new flower bulb its a ceramic hps, yes thats right ceramic hps. Does does this bulb hit the markets and if u have it in ur area who has tryed it? The spectrum in red is crazy

I have taken a good look at the technology and unfortunately it looks like a marketing attempt to sell another product. They advertise and provide information on the products spectrum balance, however they do not at all detail the product as a better solution compared to other technologies such as HPS. This tells me that CHPS is less efficient, especially when you can see heavy energy beyond 700nm (basically heat). Although the spectrum does provide a higher CRI, there is no information on the efficiency of the technology.
