We finally have 2 Plasma lights running for 2 weeks without any hasssles and so far it is looking very very promising, Inow have to clean the glass every day as the Monty seems to be growing a little quicker than before.
Follow the link below to see a video of the lights at 80% lumination.
Pleasae feel free to comment, good or bad I can take it.

Any chance of a side by side comparison with a 250w halide?

I had 3 x 400w Metal halides 14k running on the tank before and I can only pass comment as they now have been running for 2 weeks only, but so far you can have the M/H Im getting a lot more out of these and the are dimmable.
I will be posting pictures as time goes along.
My Kilowat usage has dropped between 10 and 14KW/ day and that is huge considering the plasmas run for 12 hrs and the M/H ran for 8 hrs.
More pics will follow.
We are running a series of tests which will be published in a few months.

At the time I took the video the Plasma globe was about 600mm from the water level.
I will be doing some PAR readings thanks to Schaun who kindly lent me his meter inthe next week or so.
