Default Got my Ebay MH Bulbs - Wow!!! I am happy

Well, I just got my Ebay order for 2 X 250W DE 14K Metal Halide bulbs. Thought I would try the generic route, worst case I lose a couple bucks.

I installed the Artemis bulbs, and all I can say is WOW!!!! Very nice color on start up, nice blue, just nice overall. Will have to see how they work once burned in, but so far very impressed.

I got 2 of these in from Ontario for under $50 including shipping and GST. Sorry LFS, but for that price, had to give them a try.

I don't want to break any rules, but PM me if you want the ebay link to the bulbs and seller.

Can I get the link to the website where you ordered them from? I am coming up on switching my bulbs out.

Mike, you deal with HobbyLighting also? Good guy! and I must say, lights are great. Now they have only been on for a hour or so now, but I love them so far.

I have used Ushio, XM, Pheonix and Hamilton. Been luke warm to all them, but not these guys, and they are not name brand. Go figure, probably come out of the same plant in china.

I have been using these for about 3 years now, I am happy with them the only thing that yo umight have to change them a bit earlier then the rest but with that price you can change them every 6 months .
