Sorry Powercow9, if that seemed rude I didn't mean it to.

NP I nderstand completely.. PAR is kinda new and the light people are slow to move to it... They'll only use it if it can show their product is better than another. it's kinda like mhz.. it a good starting place to figure out computer power but it definatly doesnt give the whole story as far as computer power... I just wish more lights would use PAR. because 2 lights can have the same lumens but one can grow a plant and the other cant.
I'd love to find out the par value of those envirolights.. I suppose it's pretty high as the cri is so high... If anyone can get their hands on a PAR meter( yeah i know they are expensive) and let us know the par of the envirolights.
update sunmaster has adopted par and will list them on bulbs.
