They're American, but they ship via. USPS Airmail which is nice.

I found that Arc 14000K bulb very blue too, but if you don't like the 14000K, don't buy 20000K, as it is even more blue. You may have to have a look at 10000K. I have a 10000K HQI bulb, and like it very much .

I am buying my IceCap 150W HQI 10K DE bulbs from CoolTouch in Toronto. Seems like good prices. You can check their SE bulbs for your system. Their website prices are in US though but at 1.20 exchange rate, the prices are quite good. But you'd have to add on top of that for shipping so it might not be great if you are buying just 1 or 2 bulbs.

Alot of reefers really like the blue, but I myself don't like it too blue.

Buying bulbs from cool touch lighting is 14$ Canadian for shipping. Called them last week on some bulbs. They have a special on 14k bulbs at 47.00 Canadian each. That is for 175 watt and 250 watt. 400 watt are a few dollars more. The bulbs are Aqua cool, I have never heard of them, anyone ever used one of these bulbs?

I got excited until I got to the checkout page and it says:
