Hello,

Yeah support your local shop is a good idea. Too much damaged goods from my previous experience too.

The really expensive fragile equipment comes on a crate with a shock meter mounted. If there has been any extreme handling the chemicals will alert the shipper.

supporting the local shop would've costed me an arm and a leg to get these three bulbs as i only paid a third of what it would have costed me buying it at the store. its a very expensive hobby and i'm trying to save as much as i can

thanks venki for sending me the replacement bulbs
