in 20000K SE bulbs radium only makes 2, a 250 watt and a 400 watt and no 10000K is listed by them.

The bulbs are brand new, only test fired for 3 seconds to make sure they work. Hood was purchased new Sept.19th 2003 from Big Al's.

radiums are still a relitively new bulb and also one of the cheeper bulbs you can buy. a 400 watt radium only retails for 129.00 so why would a lower temp bulb that is aledidly a radium sell for more? maybe shipping to port moody is real expensive.
now not having seen the hood, even if MH bulbs are ushio they will be 150ish each for 300, a couple floressent tubes, 3 ballasts and all in a package the price is still good (about what it would cost you to build it your self paying normal prices) so aside form the bulb confusion it is still a good deal.
Justin do you work/own a store? you sure seam to be against fair pricing for the hobbiest and the only time I have seen that befor is from people that own or have interest in a store.
