If I remember right the new CBB 7000k was at 460 and the CBI 5500k were 340. There's a u tube video posted by TRS comparing the top 5 bulbs with the CBB on top. As I said before , I was running the CBI 5500k and now the 7000K and the 7000K are brighter but not that much brighter to justify the extra 80bucks. I believe the Osram 5500K at TRS went from 190. to 110./pair and the 7000k are 190. now.

Straight from TRS web sight- 7000K? So Osram rates these bulbs at 7000K, which is actually quite blue...but in our own testing, we found the CBB to have no more "blue" color to it compared to the CBH (which they rate at 6000K) and/or the CBI (which they rate at 5500K) - in this case, it seems that Osram is actually playing into the common misnomer that Kelvin rating = brightness by rating the bulbs accordingly higher. Weird!
Check out this helpful video to see how the Osram bulbs compare.
