250w Metal Halide Bulb Question
Im looking for a new bulb but iv noticed at Big Als and other stores they mark up the bulbs to about 120-160$ each, Iv looked online and read about the bulbs and what to look for and on ebay I found exactly that but for $25ish range, below is an example. Anyone with experience have any input here, I do know that $150 at big als for a Corallife bulb is garbage.

Guess the diffrence is how long the bulb lasts, if it lasts only 6 months and costs $20 guess its better then having a bulb that last 12months+ for $$$.

eBay bulbs can be hit or miss. One person I know bought three and only 1 was good (but it did look really good!).
Go for the $65 Phoenix from JL. Best bulbs beside radiums IMO.
