EVC - formerly Helios - MH Bulbs, $50 Group Order!

[Bill S]

EVC is now selling what was formerly the Helios line of MH bulbs. The Helios got great reviews from many sources, and several of the on-line coral companies used them in house.

I need 3 new bulbs. They have all bulbs currently on sale, but he's willing to do an order for 6 minimum (I need 3, so that leaves 3) for $50 each. I THINK shipping is $10 total - but not sure.

If I know you, I'll be happy to front the $$. If not, PM me and we'll arrange it.

I have the 20K, 400w SE bulbs. These were great - no actinic needed. Growth was also very good.

For those in CC, I'll be happy to bring them down on a weekend.

Let me know by say Thursday?

Nice deal. If I had money to spare I would jump on the 250W 10K. The specs on that bulb are incredible. :shades: If I thought my BTA was bleached now.....man would he be hurting then.

[Bill S]

OK, 29 looks and no interest?

SOMEONE else has to need bulbs... Not a big deal to me, I just thought some others might like to get in on this. Mine are only $55 regular price.

Bill is it too late for this?

Hey David,

Does this mean you are contemplating putting together a group order for frozen food? If so, it is that time again for us, so we would be up for it. Just like to check LFS for comparison first, in case they are able to offer us a comparable deal.

Bill - sorry to hijack your thread. That's a good price on bulbs and we would probably be interested if we had not JUST replaced all of ours.

Bill, I will take one bulb. DE 14k 150 No Kristy, I was letting Bill know since he is the frozen food man,:D

[Bill S]

One last bump... We need 2 more. David, do you still want the bulb at regular price? I'll pay the shipping, since I need mine anyway.

Does Helios offer a 250w 10k se? Any info on it?

[Bill S]

Jim,

Helios is gone - the EVC products are supposed to be identical.

There is an EVC 10K, 250w SE bulb on sale for $55:

Sanjay has tested the EVC bulb, and it has a 110 PPFD:

That number is just below the 400W 20K - pretty impressive. There is a spectral analysis there as well.

Let me know.

[JimD]

Bill, Im gonna go ahead and slide on this for right now, I really need to find a new reflector first and I dont want to hold up your group order. Thanks for the info..

[Darth-Tater]

Go for it Bill. I can't beat the price. I will split shipping with you.

David

[Bill S]

Order placed.

Is the bulb for you, or for the classroom?

[Darth-Tater]

For the classroom. LMK when it arrives I will pack a picnic lunch for the long journey to 281 :lauging: and bring cash.

Thanks Bill


David

[Bill S]

Well, they just emailed me and said they were out of stock for a couple of weeks. So I told them to ship when they get them. Since it's for your classroom, consider it a donation.

[Darth-Tater]

Bill if you keep doing random acts of kindness people will be changing their opinon of you. :bighug: I will list your name on the side of the tank for contributers.
