E92-Lighting, is Mtec only little bit brighter than GP Thunder? I'm currently using GP and thinking should I get the mtec instead.

generally speaking the higher in kelvin you go, the less output you get, if you compare gp with mtec, all mtec have lower kelvin ratings when compared to gp's with all kelvin ratings.

i wonder who ever bought RD LED :-s

I just don't see how RD are 10 times better to justify spending 10 times the money
most of the guys here bought RD's... there is a GB before and i think you can pm E92 on it.

LEDs operate at significantly less temperature and power draw than the stock halogen incandescent bulb so heat is not a problem.
