cheapest place for M/H bulbs ////

[unclemuskie]

I am currently running 2- 250 watt mogul base M/H'S that are 14k.They will need to be replaced soon so I was wondering if anyone could help with a cheap on-line place as the prices at my LFS are getting out of hand. Any help would be great.

I hear reef geeks are the cheapest or halolights, check out the sponsor page.

I just received mine (14k) from eBay:

250w Halides

I love the coloration of the 14k's and have always run the Plus Brand halides, 10k before these.

People have also posted about Reef Optics
Reef Optics

I don't know anything about them first hand. Everything that I've read has been positive, and I almost went with them before I found the Plus Brand which was what originally shipped with my halides.

I love my reef optics lamp from ebay. I got the 14 K 250W SE version. I would get it again and again.

Of course there's probably several vendors that I'm not aware of, but I searched for about a week and only found the two bulbs already mentioned in this thread.

I don't know about the Reef Optics, but the Plus Brand are commercial grow lamps (i.e. plants lights) which is why they aren't jacked 3-4 times in price and labled "reef".

I originally bought my metal halide set up from Inside Sun and it shipped with the Plus Brand lamps (check their pricing - $35 shipped for 250w Mogul) but they currently only have 10k and 20k in stock which is why I went to eBay looking for 14k.
