htg supply bad bulbs

[dagobaker]

anyone else have bad success with these bulbs from htg supply? grow bright
went through one bulb in a week and they sent me a replacement
then tonight i went through another bulb
i hate to have to email them again and get another replacement
they sent me a better bulb to replace the one that burned out and its worked perfectly
im using a conversion bulb until i can get some money to buy a new bulb

i sent them another email and will wait for a response
both bulbs died but in diff systems so its not me
i dont want to spend 150 on a top notch bulb but i may have no choice

they were great the first time but im just worried the cheap no name bulbs are just crap
then it has me wondering if its my light systems....
i have an agro max that they sent me as a replacement and an expensive as hell conversion bulb im using until i can get a replacement for the hps
the agro max has been in use in the system that blew the first bulb for over 2 months now so it must be ok????? and i guess im using the conversion bulb for awhile too. it has been used for close to a year over the last 2 years with no problems so it has me thinking my 2 light systems are just fine
im using new timers and power cord setups so thats not the problem

they are sending me an upgraded repacement bulb as soon as possible
great customer service so ill be using them in the future also
just wont be buying the cheap bulbs anymore learned my lesson
