(Lermer) The price is too high, and the technology obsolete. Hortilux is desperately grasping at something their sales force are asking for, and have not consulted their engineers. Probably they don't want to pay Philips for the use of their patented Ceramic Metal Halide technology. This produces full-specturm light more efficiently than old technology, with more red than an HPS and more blue than a MH.
The MH lasts about half as long as the HPS, so having both an HPS and MH arc tubes in the same bulb, limits the useful whole bulb life to the shorter bulb life of the MH.
