i had to use an ebay link not for sale but more on an informational purpose as i am trying to find out info's from other member's if i cant show what i am talking about its hard to explain what bulb i was referring it too...

Copy and past the spec info into this thread if you want info about a particular item.

It's been several years since I priced out T5HOs, but last I looked, this place had good prices on the spectrums I like: http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/
it wasn't the cost but more of the quality of the item... wanted to know if any one had good resulte on this bulb rather then it burning out after 2 months
