Yes, but it is the cheapest.

Cheap doesnt mean good or effective. When you look at an LOA fixture it gives you two numbers. One is power used one is light produced. The light produced figure they give you is equal to incandescent this is useless. The power used figure is the one you need to look at. The lamp in question uses 20 watts and produces 75 watts=to incandescent. Its a 20 watt lamp. When you start buying enough of them to get the needed level of light, where does the "cheap" factor go? |

If I recall my loa uses 65 watts a 6200k approx with a SUPPOSED equiv
to a 600 watt light. I can take a picture of the box if you need to see it. They cost 25-30 depending on where i can find them.
