Has someone actually tried ordering a XM bulb and was told they couldn't have it shipped to a Canadian address? From a place other than HelloLights that is ... don't bother asking HelloLights because they for sure don't ship to Canadian addresses but other places (e.g. premiumaquatics) would still.

Premiumaquatics will for sure.

Yep, I know (I buy from them sometimes, highly recommend them in fact).

But I'm curious as to if someone has tried ordering the "XM" bulbs (from some place other than HelloLights) and was specifically told they couldn't get them. I'm betting it's only HelloLights that wouldn't sell them. Just my hunch though!

Bump. Anyone tried to order an XM bulb and wasn't able to have it shipped to Canada? Anyone tried to order an XM bulb and received it without a problem? How is the bulb? I see more stores selling them now so I'm assuming they've improved the design and they aren't shattering while in use anymore.

What does Premium Aquatics say?

FWIW, I had to return an XM bulb to them recently. It just died after a months use. They said they had lots of problems with the bulbs. (Mine was 175w, not sure about the other wattages).

They also come highly recommended by myself. You can get most everything from them that you can't get in Canada and they will send it via post, unlike Marine Depot.

Premiumaquatics will most certainly ship XM bulbs to Canada. When I ordered bulbs Jason mentioned that the quality of XM bulbs was not great. I myself ordered Aqualine 13000K bulbs from them, and am very happy.

I recently got a 250W 20K XM bulb from AI. No problems so far but I haven't had it long either.
