Gee, I'm glad I found you for a source of information, but a flag went up
when you said Sylvania Silverstar is junk, since you also said on your site
that Osram is reputable. I read nothing but praise for the value of "stock
legal" Silverstars.

Regardless, your site is VERY useful for those who should know how the
different light sources work.

Thanks,
