Rich, why is that misinformation. I was under the impression that 250 watt DE 10000K and 400 watt SE 20000K was, generally speaking, close in PAR. Just checking Sanjays site, there are many examples of this using his bulbs comparions, that seem to hold true. That's 250 watt 10000K DE to 400 watt 20000K SE, not even 6500K DE. Seems that there is a slight edge in par with the SE but in general it seems pretty close.
I dont think that kau_cinta_ku was intentionally spreading misinformation. Again, there are exceptions, but generally speaking, they dont seem all that far off.
For the 250 watt DE VS SE, I was surprised because I thought you were right that the SE was usually higher. But again, checking as many of the same manufacturers equivalent color temperature bulbs in both DE and SE versions that it was about even. Some manufaturers SE versions was higher than DE versions of the same K rated bulbs. But with other manufacturers, the DE versions of the same color temp. rated bulbs had higher par.
Ahh come on, what would Sanjay know about it
The DE's main advantage was due to the ability to design a better reflector for them. The Lumenarc and Lumenmax reflectors have kinda leveled the playing field.
