metal halide bulbs...

just wondering if anyone knows if there is a reason some 10,000k bulbs are $25-$35 and some cost $85-$115.. is't 10,000k spectrum all the same?

Re: metal halide bulbs...

I agree welcome to the site. Watch for screw shell or double ended also. Some may be for the marine hobby and some may be for other things such as bulbs you find in a hardware store. I only use bulbs designed for the marine hobby. hope this helps clear it up a bit.
