Sounds like a mixed bag of marketing hype. 10,000K is NOT the same
spectrum as 6500K. 10000K would be MUCH bluer than the TriChromatic.
Even brighter, huh? I would doubt it until I measured it myself.
Which I would never do because I won't buy one of their bulbs after
the last bit of hype -- the "reflectorized" bulbs. Just my opinion,
of course.
