I don't know if anyone noticed, but when the bulbs were first distributed by Venki they were $42.00. He announced they would soon be distributed by J&L, and there would probably be a modest increase in price of around 10 or 15 percent. I notice now on J&L's website that the bulbs now sell for $74.95. That is closer to a 75% increase. At that price it is hardly worth trying. When I need a new bulb I will get one of known quality.
