now im not all that smart so im just assuming that the 1,0 on the CDM chart is equal to the 100 on the HPS chart.
if so the CDM is peaking well above the HPS even in the red spectrums.
the advantage of the ceramic arc tube is that it can withstand much higher heat and allows us to run different hallides at higher heats for longer. this increases the range of different halides that can be used, the different halides are what create different light spectrums because when these halides are heated they partly vaporise.
also they last longer an dont lose colours because the ceramic walls of the arc tube dont absorb the metal ions like the old tubes used too.
CDM is the future of HID its just a matter of time before everyone realises. better quality light using less energy. its simple.
the real question is will HID lights continue to reign supreme or will LED's or Indcution take over
i wouldnt be so sure of that. the CDM lamps really do perform. i couldnt find a good side by side of the 860 vs 1000w hps
but this is a side by side fo a 400w cdm (actually 330W) vs a 400w HPS using the same scale

now as you can see the CDM lamp matches the peaks of the HPSbut destroys it in every other spectrum. i would imagine that the 860w CDM destroys the 1000w HPS in a similar fashion.
Being a CDM grower and a HPS grower i can tell you plants love CDM the only reason i still run HPS in some grows is because i dont want to spend the money and upgrade just yet. but you can bet when i do the 860w CDM is where i will be going
