Re: What are these lights?

["Romeo Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

I found all of this incredibly interesting.  However very contradicting. 
One source (the s says the bulbs are great and gives scientific reasons why.
 The other source (MBZ Org) gives similar scientific reasons why the bulbs
are bad.  Who is right?  From experience, I tend to side with the seller as
when I have seen the bulbs, they put out an incredibly bright and clear
light.

Any other comments?
