Difference is amazing!
Ordered 2 - 15k 175w bulbs from lightexports.com the blueish hue makes for a nice touch. Just turned on my actinics and it looks like they aren't even on. These were taken on my phone...

Before 1 week ago... old bulbs don't ask cause I don't remember.

Today

Actinics

Looks good. Told you they were good to deal with! I work for the FAA and we order a HUGE amount of various bulbs throughout the year and they have always been good to deal with.

Yeah pretty painless.

Wow! I just went to lightexports.com and they have a great selection with fantastic pricing. Are they for real? Thanks for the tip. I will be ordering from them soon.

Damn, $20 for a 250W HQI bulbs. Why you been hiding this website from everyone! Too bad they don't carry much in T5HO bulbs.

Well unfortunately I spoke too soon. When my timer did not turn on my lamps, I had problems. Bulbs went bad. Not sure what could have caused this. I sent an Email to Light Exports and well going to have to wait to see what they say.
This sucks cause the bulbs only lasted a few hours. Maybe I got something out of a bad batch...

Any follow up to these bulbs?

Bulbs are working nicely as I type this. I purchase 100's of bulbs from them on a yearly basis for work and although you do get a bad one it's rare and a new one is shipped out almost always within 24-48 hours.

I did receive replacement bulbs... however I went a different route and went with a 6 bulb Tek T5s.
