If you're talking about the seller of a website called GT HID... (the rest of this post is biased based on information I've seen on their website)
I would not recommend buying from them. On their kit page, almost all of their information is misleading or wrong. They think 6000k/8000k is peak output and 4300k is not. They also seem to think their lumens rating peaks between 4000-6000k. This is probably false because their ballasts "...have a lower wattage requirements than others," and are apparently the "most reliable and resilient of all the ballasts in the market."
Just looking at this info, I know they're not a good company to buy from. 4300k bulbs are the brightest on the market, not 6000k/8000k. If their ballasts operate at a lower wattage than the other ballasts on the market (35W), then I'm doubting it would produce more light. Saying they peak at 4000-6000k is just dumb, because I don't believe I've ever heard of a bulb producing over 3200 lumens of light on a 35W ballast. Only to add to their typos, the "k" they add means it peaks at 4000-600,000 lumens.
If you're buying directly from them, be a little weary. They're located in Panama and not governed by U.S. laws. However, I couldn't find anywhere on the site to buy it directly from them, though apparently you can call a number and find local vendors.
If you're not referring to them... o
