Default ICECAP MH BULBS

Has anyone tried or had good experience with these bulbs? They are alot cheaper which makes me wary of purchasing one.

I'm using them but have paid pretty much the same price for them as any many other MH bulb (250w DE for $125ish) that I priced out +/-, no problems thus far...

They are a lot cheaper because ICE CAP shut down, thus everyone is unloading their product cheap.

I'm running a 250W SE 20000K bulb. Compared to the Radium bulb I used to run I find it a little bit more blue. However, the SPS I keep under it seems to like the bulb.

Also, Icecap products are on the cheap now so it wouldn't be bad to stock up on a few bulbs...

We (Marine Aquaria) sell Ice Cap products too and we do ship items. Just send me a pm with what you are looking for and I can send you back a price.
