![]() ^ What he said...
The first order of bulbs at J&L were a promo order,(special). I guess Venki's key words were "We are introducing" Sorry for any confusion, simply put, they are still really inexpensive... If they were sold retail for the previous introductory prices, no expenses would get covered and the bulbs would be no longer. |

![]() OK understood, I geuss I just figured if it was an introductory price, J&L would have introduced the new product line on their webpage and the introductory prices. Kyle you are correct in saying the quoted prices you've mentioned are descent. So long as the bulbs stand the test of time. Which includes customer support, expected life of the bulbs and overall success of the animals supported under them. Now to suggest the price is better then others on the market can only be validated with long term success. Don't get me wrong as hobbiest I think we all welcome better pricing and new products. With that said $75 for one bulb is still a descent amount of money. Someone not in the hobby would still think we're nuts to pay that much.
