the ecotech and the orphek's are better than the ai, no comparison. personally i like the orphek but the ecotech is also a good brand. the orpheks have a uv blue actinic which give you the amazing coloration without the blue blast like other competing led's. whichever fits your price range better is the one to get. also the orpheks ratings are in pur not par, pur stands for percent usable radiation, not percent available radiation theres a huge difference
