    I am looking for new MH HQI lamps but the price difference and Brand Names are a little crazy .Now I am an electrician so I know that some brands of lamps are better than others which ones do I want? I currently have 250 watt ODEYSSA 15K s in my fixture I would be happy with the same color or maybe go to 14ks Because I do have Atinics. What sould these cost? they are FC2 socket Type.:confused:

    I just received some bulbs from tangster. I had the same lamps in my fixture and I can't even explain the difference. Very affordable. I highly recommend changing them out.

    I have bought them from all over the place, but I do want to try the bulbs that Tangster(sps) sells. I keep on hearing that they're the chit. Luna
