Hey Paul,
I am going to pick up a few of the 150 watt 20000k DE in April when I move.
I'll post some pictures then

They look very nice!

I'm tempted.

What comments do you have?
What have you heard about PAR?
Are the 10K K's in the pics DE?
How does the 20k k 150 watt brightness compare to the 250's?

Thanks!
Paul

I e-mailed a guy who has them and he said he's disappointed in them. Low PAR value. I'd probably stay away until a German company makes a "real" bulb.
