Xm Bulbs

Nemain · #1 01-09-2004, 06:10 PM

Anyone know who may carry 10k and 20k XM bulbs? I really like the look of these suckers, but havent been able to find them in Canada (may have to pick them up when I am in hawaii!)

Thanx again =)

You can only buy them in the states.
Only way to get them here would be too have someone in the states buy them then reship to here.

You don't need to get someone to buy it and ship it to you. Many stores will ship directly to you using US Postal Service. Premium Aquatics is one. Ocean Encounter is another.

One might want to do a search on XM bulbs shattering or breaking while in use on RC though.

Thats new then last i heard no one would bother shiping to canada.

Not really new. There's no reason why they can't ship to Canada. The only place that I know doesn't ship to Canada is HelloLights. There might be a few others but most places will ship dry goods to Canada.

What most stores in the US can't ship to Canada though, are animals on the CITES list like corals and many places don't want to fish and other livegoods either.

If the bulbs are being repackaged and sold under a different name in Canada then there will be a non compitition agreement that the bulbs labeled as XM cannot be sold in Canada or to a Canadian address.

as this is happening I think that maybe XM bulbs are here under a different name.
