soo all the hydro store i have been to in the past couple weeks (4 of them) have all been talking about some new 750 watts hps light. i guess it puts the lumens of an 1000 but the cost of a 600 or close too. i was wondering if anyone has heard of them or tried using them? thanks

found some here
750W HPS Grow Light Systems
looks cool, but pretty pricey, and they are all 240v, so def. more extra juice than i want on my bill

did the math on the hps max-89 on the above link and the 1000w and 750w with the same bulb, both came out to 140 lumens per watt. no diff.
