So...has anybody any idea as to how long these bulbs will fire up within the acceptable spectrum/range? How often should these bulbs be changed out? Does anyone know how often Dez changes his out?
I agree, though, with $20/bulb, even with a 6-month change-out, that's still a great deal. Usually these bulbs cost me >$100/pc  So anyone has a preference who to order from? I kind of leaning towards the Canadian site (Hobby Lighting).

However, you can measure intensity of a bulb relatively low cost by using something like an apogee light (quantum) meter. I recently acquired some ebay MH light bulbs and an apogee light meter. I will do some tests to see what is the deal with these ebay light bulbs. So stay tuned.  George

I have been changing my bulbs once per year. My corals have not noticed it and I haven't had any algae blooms. Although my bulbs aren't from eBay. My friend brought a bunch in from somewhere. They were $13/ bulb. Not sure where he got them.
