so i was sifting through previous threads, taking note of all the best hosts. pretty dismayed to find most of them no longer available online, my only option, not even the mega illuminator. so i'm down to the SM5200 and thor x colossus. i'm not sure if i read right but is it true that while the colossus can only accept slim ballasts unlike the sanmak?
i was looking for a 55W ballast and found this one that claims to be better than the generic chinese ones. bosch is mentioned, so is made in japan. is a conversion kit different from the usual AC ballasts CPF members source for? it is also too cheap to be believable. 55$ for 2 hid bulbs and 2 ballasts, zip ties and whatnot. i'm wondering if this, if legitimate, is more efficient and reliable in terms of output and stability than the chinese ballasts. thinking of pairing them with a 55W bulb from the more recognized brands (Osram and the other one).
how's beam quality between the two hosts too?
