70w 20k MH DE bulb

[wallywalt]

Im looking for a 70w 20k MH DE bulb but cannot find one anywhere in sotck. Anyone here know where i could purchase one?

I could order one for you but I don't stock the lighting program as with shipping and the exchange rate it is not a good value. If you are interested they run about $95 from Tunze and it would likely take 4 weeks to get.

Thats $95 for the bulb alone? Why so expensive for a 70w bulb?

 

[rvitko]

Thats the MSRP set by Tunze for the US, I don't make them so I can't tell you why they cost so much. It is a BLV DE lamp and as I said I don't stock the bulb program because the US market is saturated, the exchange rate really makes it uncompetitive against asian made lamps and lamps bought from the US master distributors. FWIW, it probably is no less expensive to make a 70w lamp than a 250w lamp and outside of the lower quality lamps most european DE lamps sell for nearly that price.
