The new bulbs arrived today, and I couldn't wait to get home to install them. It turns out that my old bulbs were 150 watt 14K and the new that I bought are 150 watt 10K. Wow I knew the old bulbs were old but what a difference in the **BRIGHTNESS**, much whiter than the old 14K

Here is what I bought.

250263619953 150W 10K DE Metal Halide Aquarium bulb R7S, DE150W10K 2 $9.00 USD $18.00 USD

Sounds like you're pretty happy with that! Hope they work out well for you.

I got three eBay bulbs with one of the fixtures I bought. One 10k was a 10k (blast white), a 20k was more like a 10k, and the 14k I swear was just a blue bulb as it shined PURE blue. I've seen a lot of 20k's but that bulb was just....wow. Never know what you're going to get!

I just found this guy on EBay check out the prices on his MH bulbs I have just ordered mine.

Let us know what you think about the bulbs you just bought from this Ebayer.

As far as an Ebayer he is a good seller. I would however order a 14K bulb in the future, I just don't like the "white" color of the 10K and I'm getting too much green algae.
