SDC South Pacific Lighting bulbs

Have any of you guys tried this bulb out? I'm looking at the 10k version and it appears to be identical to the Reeflux 10k but with slightly better PPFD.

Looking on Sanjay's site, this bulb is quite amazing.

CCT of 19K and PPFD of 90 on a 250W Icecap Electronic ballast.

Those are outrageously high numbers if you look at them together, basically meaning very blue and very bright. There are no other bulbs out there that have such good pair readings. Any bulbs that have higher PPFD outputs on the same ballast have CCTs ranging from 5-11.5K, which is very yucky and require tons of supplementation.
