so i saw this a while back about these lights and there have been a few post about them but it seems like more and more progress is happening and soon these lights will be available. Anyone got any info on these? I do not doubt these are the future of lights.

My friend is doing a test round with this light.. Pretty amazing piece of technology. He grabbed up a STA-40-02 which has a CRI of 96. Its insanely bright but needs a reflector to use it efficiently. THE heat is pretty much a non issue. Yes it generates heat but most of it is dropped out the heat sink instead of forwards towards the plants. I can comfortable place my hand within 6 inches and hold it there with little fear of the plants health. Especially with a fan on it. Give me a few more days and I will throw some photos up. Right now they are in beta release and will allow developers to buy them I guess. They have some awesome computer controlled dimming ability. I would say startup is 20 seconds.. The light is really really blue at first but as the bulb gets up to temp its some of the most natural light you will see

I am working on a grow journal and I will update you as I know more.

And you save alot on power consumption?

Plasma bulbs!?! That's absolutely sick! I want one so bad now.

Cool!

Imagine fitting those into an LED-style enclosement with 10 of these bulbs and growing with them?

That would be sweet

I hope it makes it to market for a reasonable price.
