No we do not sell the sockets.

Here is a link to a supplier. Damn thing costs more than 1/2 price of the bulb :eek:

I am not an expert with glass, but glass with minimum of 4.5mm thickness is required if the glass in uncoated for UV protection.

Thanks for the info! :biggrin:

Tony;

I noticed my DE reflector from Sunlight Supply has low-e (tempered glass??) glass. I'll check again tomorrow and measure the thickness for you.

Kari

Checked with industry experts. If it is a quartz glass 4.5 mm is required. If it is machine made glass then lesser thickness (2mm) is fine.

Venki

So whats the verdict on the bulbs everyone still happy? Venkiw, do you still have bulbs available? If so I'll probably order two 250s in the new year.

Doug

Also wondering if those who have been using the bulbs are still happy?

If so I'll be jumping on Doug's order for a couple 250W bulbs and a couple 250W eballasts.

I ordered 3 250 10000k bulbs and have been using one Al brought over for me and I have to say I like the color of them,especially when you add an actinic.Where else are you going to find 10k bulbs for that price?I think if Venki can offer all of us these kind of prices then we should take advantange of this.I for one will be ordering more more from him,especially the E ballasts.
2 thumbs up! :mrgreen:

Jim

venki got any 250 14000k bulbs?
