I have been dealing with Hobby lights on Ebay for a couple years now for bulbs & have never been disappointed with them at all especially for the price. You could change them every 6 months & still be ahead of the game.

Took you long enough to see the light Rick, glad to see you finally loosened up the chaps

I personally use a Hamilton Belize fixture. But I can say these bulbs work great with Hamilton and their electronic ballasts. I hope this is still the case in 2-3 weeks, once the bulbs burn in.

Usually I have found bulbs to look like crap then get better with burn in, nice to have a great look right out of the box for once.
