You can bypass ebay all together and buy directly from them.... even in person.

Also... they sell a multitude of lightbulbs... from movie projector bulbs to aircraft bulbs. The aquarium metal halides are a tiny part of what they sell. When I emailed the company asking about their metal halides, they had to ask me for what application I was interested in... they sell metal halides for all kinds of uses.

Now as far as the bulbs go... I can't say... I haven't tried them yet. I'm still waiting for pics from the guy who bought them. I'll post them if he sends them.

JFK_Jr- I have to say it... YOU ROCK! Do you know their firstborn's name? Awesome research!! karma to you...
