Over on the HID list someone posted a comparison of the EE and dive 
rite lights.  Apparently the Dive Rite are more yellowish, possibly 
due to a different ballast being used.  Basically, even though it's 
also a 10W HID it's a different light from the EE.  I have the EE 10 
and the EE18.  Both are very nice, and I would recommend them without 
hesitation.  Side by side the 18 is about 30% to 50% stronger than 
the 10, but I like the low power consumptin of the 10.  I haven't 
tried them next to halogen lights.

I hope this helps a little.
