I need to buy a 600 watt bulb for an HPS light, and a few replacement bulbs for old metal halide lamps.
1000Bulbs.com seems to have some really good prices. But - Plusrite vs. Plantmax ?
I'm more used to "Hortilux Eye" and (even before that) "Sonagra" bulbs, and plain old GE or Sylvania or Philips Metal Halide's.
The page for my choices -
https://www.1000bulbs.com/category/600-watt-high-pressure-sodium-lamps/
The Plantmax has better specs, but worse reviews on their website.
At Amazon, people don't like Plusrite -

BulbsPro.com has mostly Plantmax, in different light bulb wattages ~

http://www.amazon.com/EyeHortilux-Super-Enhanced-Spectrum-Bulb/dp/B0002KHDI0
Hortilux Eye, $76. Worth it ?
Now there's "Ushio".

Anybody like their bulbs ?
