    Major difference! They are some great bulbs for the price! Tonight my schedule is to remount my 4th halide, and take par readings tomorrow. Should be interesting to compare to my old 75's par readings. Thank Minh (OrionN) for the link to those bulbs originally, I had to search and search to find it again. After experiencing how good they are first hand, I try to spread the word as much as possible so they stay in business because DANG they are so cheap!

    Are the colors popping alot more? Did you shade your 10ks before replacement? Sometimes corals get shocked from the change because with a higher kelvin, the PAR will drop.

    I just bought 2 20k 250w bulbs from them. I'm not currently using the fixture I bought them for but I did install one and plug it in. I put it over my nanocube just to see and it looked really nice. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about a $20 bulb but they seem to do a nice job. Can't wait until I use them full time to see what they're really made of.

    Yeah I thought I may be in for a bad algae outbreak or something, but there was nothing! Very very very very pleased.

    I have been using these bulbs for some time as well. Very pleased for the price and a decent product.

    I have had a bad bulb before and customer service is not very good in my personal experience as there wasn't any offer to replace the bulb because they blamed my ballast...which works fine...lol. I did not make a big deal out of it though....one bad bulb out of 6 isn't so bad at that price, which is about the price of one from many of the top name brand companies.

    I still buy bulbs from them and like them.
