Th MH bulbs dont have what type they are so they may be some of the cheap imports that are starting to come into the market. If they are that is a lot for them I think I heard they were in the 30s for them. I never heard of the company though.

I've ordered from them a few times. orders are always complete and recieved in under a week. prices are usually better than MD, etc. too.
they're also a sponsor here at RC.

What do you mean they don't say what type they are? The website clearly says they are Hamilton bulbs.

I order the 250w 14ks from them a couple months back. Great service no problems. I'm suprised this sale is still going on. Their price is $15 less per bulb than any where else. That does make me wonder how they can manage a price like that. But I imagine if they were trying to pass off a non Hamilton bulb as a Hamilton they would have gotten into a bit of trouble by now.

I was going to order the hamilton lamps now and they are no longer listed! Just my luck. Think Hellolights.com will still honor the sale price?

Ya when you go through the list it has Hamilton on it I was just looking at the first page.

Does anyone use EVC Tec? How are the Hamilton in comparison? Did you order any yet? I am needing some now too I need to replace the XMs and will not go back to them.

EVC are the brand that will not fire consistently I have had sooo much trouble from. The ones that made me think the old magnetic 250 ballasts were bad and they still are hit or miss fireing with my all new icecap electronic ballasts. The new hamiltons fire within 5 seconds and the 6 month old EVC's still fire very slow if at all some days.... I would opt for a $20 more expensive bulb and have reliability if it were me. New bulbs are hard on the pocket book though!
