Pain in the arse is right!! Finally got a response from Philips.....

"Dear Sir

These lamps are unavailable in the UK so the only course of action to purchase them would be through and importer/exporter like International Lamps or via the internet, or direct from Philips US.":wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:


Well thanks for that! Have contacted International lamps to see what they say. More Later.

spoke to greens horticulture and told them they would make a kiling if they started importing the correct cmh bulbs - they said it was something they were already looking into

Yes Verdantgreen, work fine on standard HPS ballast. Thats good news about greens. Still have heard nothing from international lighting.

i just ordered one from the advancedtechlighting usa link from the start of the big cmh sticky thread in the 'growroom designs and equipment' forum. 250 horizontal + postage came to a nifty (£50) so i was quite pleasantly surprised.

cant wait to give it a try!

I think the Philips retro white is the one to go for, not sure of those others.

I'm awaiting a shipment of a 250 and 400w from advancetechlighting to the UK

yes it took a while to arrive but i think i was a little unlucky. im liking the results with it - more resin and terpenes i think - and i dont see any reduction in yield so far...
