HORTILUX Super HPS

I replaced a very high quality bulb that had seen better days with this hortilux about half way through the blooming phase, and noticed a difference immediately. Of course, a brand new bulb is always going to outperform an older one, but even at its peak the previous bulb did not produce results like this. It was also a "high end" bulb, and was worth every penny I paid for it, but I'm now settled on the super hps for good. Something I would like to add: I shopped around for the best prices on this bulb, and in fact I did find one it two sellers with lower prices, many (really, waaay too many to be coincidence) reviews claimed they had received bulbs that appeared to have been used, and/or arrived in suspiciously incorrect packaging. Fakes and frauds are out there. So, I decided to buy it here, at a perfectly reasonable price, and with peace of mind because I know BAS would never mislead their customers. It's often worth paying a few dollars more to do business with people you can trust.
