Based on actual intensity measurements of Triton Enhancers vs Plain
Old White Shoplight Reflectors using identical bulbs and ballasts, the
Enhancers are 0% better than shoplight reflectors. That's right, zero
percent. They are, however, 250% more expensive.
BTW, bulbs with "internal reflectors" are also a rip-off.
