well i wouldnt write off sulfur microwave yet.. the new bulbs are shielded (dont give off any detectable waves.. even if they did it would just be like a microwave being on in the room.

The price is down too.. only about a cool grand.. and imagine if they can do for them what CFL's have done for flouros... could be putting out 100 lumens per watt at a higher PUR rating than HPS with no heat and no light degredation over the 50,000 (estimated) hr life of the bulb.

I mean.. pretty good specs and the price is only about twice what a good HPS setup costs.. It is supposed to be better in the watts to lumens ratio than it use to be and I think it may have potential in our hobby.

Also.. maybe we can make them?? Its a pretty simple design.. a magnetron (microwave generator like in your microwave) blasts its beams thru a ball filled with sulfur gas.. not too technical.. but im sure there is a little more to it.
