They are Re Branded Helios

I didn't know they were re branded.......but EVC has been around while Helios was in production??? I guess I will have to order a bulb and see how the color is.

Rich,

As far as I know, Helio were imported by TAAM (Rio Pumps and RealOcean salt), looks like they stopped selling MH bulbs all together..

As EVC being re-branded Helio, I don't think that is the exact case. Helio did not and do not make their own light bulbs (not many of the current branded bulbs sold are made by the brand), they buy from a manufacturer in China and branded it as TAAM product. I am pretty sure EVC get their bulbs the similar if not the same way. With that said, have you looked at Sanjay's Spectral plot for the two bulbs? They are pretty close.
