HID - vs - LED
This could start a war?
Anyway, its a simple question - which is "best buy" HID or LED (currently leaning towards FaMi 40 or 50) , but could be swayed.

Garf are you bringing the popcorn or am I ?

Think I'll watch this, because after all I may have a biased viewpoint, supplying what is probably the best value HID on the market

Wouldn't really be fair of me to comment would it


Cheers
PS Was that subtle enough ?

Mega illumination required, or bomb proof hammer with long burntime?
Do you to be seen or want to see?

If the first point of the each question then HID, if the second point of each then LED, if mixed then no idea!

Then again I could be wrong.

I have the best of both worlds. A bomb-proof hammer that is HID.
