Don't want to identify manufacturer and start another go around, so sent PM with info. :biggrin:

Hey, me too!! :razz:

Well the one you guys both independantly said is the one that I have.

Awesome.

That sucks.

what’s up with the secrecy? why cant the rest of us know what bulbs are junk?

Because the last time we did that, the seller of the bulbs came back with a lot of arguments, and recriminations. I for one don't want to start that crap all over again. :eek:

I was reimbursed for my bulb, so I am leaving it alone. :mrgreen:

Snoop Dog bought two 250w 10k ushio's and they are pee yellow. I'm sticking with AB's

what did you sign a non disclosure? thanks for looking out for the rest of us :neutral:

It was a new company who had a bad run of 175's the 250's weren't bad and I still use them as they are one of the highest PAR output bulbs I have tested yet, and the slight yellow off the bulb is non existent with actinic lighting on. But there 175's were weird, no two bulbs seamed to look the same. apparently though that has been corrected if I remember correctly?
