Its High Intensity Discharge.
I make them
Yoou are right, the blue coating DOES take away some lumens. If anything the blue coated lamp(I make those too) will be the same output even though the wattage is higher.The coating takes away about 10% of the coils ability to produce the same amount of lumens per watt as a standard clear halogen.
