I can't really get on the hortilux bandwagon either.
There are several bulbs with almost identical specifications to the Eye Hortilux that are significantly cheaper - GrowBright's SuperHPS line comes to mind.

I see this all the time with audio equipment - people who spend significantly extra money on brand names instead of specifications or performance that they actually need - and then go around talking up that particular item to anyone who'll listen for ever and ever.
Unless someone posts up some sort of substantive proof that - say - GrowBrights SuperHPS line of bulbs, for one, is lying or distorting specifications - I have to say that the Eye Hortilux is trading on name recognition and not a whole lot else.
Lastly, I will say I've noticed a HUGE difference between Regent Security Lighting (150w HPS) that I grew underground with for years and the newer agricultural bulbs that so many manufacturers are making. Industrial HPS's are very much darker - even to the naked eye - almost a murky orange after viewing the lighter hues of modern grow HPS bulbs - that said - I just don't think there is much of a difference between the various grow bulbs themselves.
