I am currently using the Xenovision set in a set of Cibie super Oscars. There was a minor problem with one of the lights just after installation, one of the starters stopped working. I sent the whole set back and got a new set uinder warranty. That was nearly 12 months ago and there have been no further problems.
As far as I am concerned the lights are very good and you will not be dissapointed with them. Dont know anything about the GE ones.
Hope this helps.

Don't know anything about either product. The first one's, GEXENON, ballast's look a hell of a lot like Hella's xenon ballasts and produce 35W also, and coming from melbourne i wouldn't be surprised if they were.

That being the case, full Australian warranty, and the fact their $64ea cheaper than the other, i'd be inclined to go with them.

But like i stated earlier i am not going by experience with either product. Wait for more responses before handing over your hard-earned.
