I sent them an email twice regarding the 175 HQIs and they replied but didnt' really answer my question. All they said was something to the effect of "we use the same picture for each of the products (bulbs) and we will be updating our pictures soon."

The prices do look very reasonable compared to other similar products. But then you have to factor in shipping and other hidden costs.

I have the 18 inch unit for my 30 gallon cube.

It is awesome stays extremely cool both on the ballast and the fixture. The company was great to deal with all around.

Hey Chin,

Maybe do a quick search on RC (if you can ever get through). I remember a couple fires caused by these units due to improper wiring.

Also, 175W DE bulbs apparently DO exist, but aren't really that popular and only used mainly in Europe. Where would you even begin to look for a replacement bulb in that case?
