Guess we know why they were so cheap! Lol... Keep me updated on the return/replacement. If it works out I may drop a bill on a case as well.
Shit happens, I don't think this can be blamed on the seller. They're light bulbs- and fragile at that. I have tried to contact him once and got no response. I will try again, I may not have used the proper channel. I'm an eBay noob, maybe the last one, lol
The ones that survived initial startup are all running fine and their light output looks fantastic compared to HPS. The plants agree; one plant that is on an HPS Silo but near its CDM lit neighbor is actually displaying preferential phototropism towards the new tech- and this isn't about old bulbs; no HPS in my op has more than two weeks on it; I just replaced them all in mid June.
Color Rendering Index is said to be 93, and it shows; the plants display their full colors in this light! I hope it also shows up in increased growth and resin production.
