What company? The bulbs themselves can cost$60.00 to $80.00. If this is real, this is a great deal. I just blew out my center ballast. Can you tell me where this is? Is there a site I can visit? I'm willing to take the chance for $85.00. Is it a mogul socket or a double ended? I'm looking for a mogul.
Thanks,
Tom

I tried to, but the administrator has done something to block it. Can you send it to me? lsc000@aol.com. I sure would appreciate it. My cup coral is looking hungry for light.
Thanks,

i found this guys listing, and am curious as to the quality. It almost sounds like a too good to be true deal, which makes me very skeptical, but very curious. Did either of you two order a setup?

Not yet, I feel the same way as you. If you look at the feedback on the seller, there are a lot of good comments. I keep debating if I should or not. I think I am going to get one 250 set up and see first. (Before I order two)
