Ocean Free Mh Set

[zapper]

Bought a set that came with 2x150w MH bulbs last week. The bulbs were supposed be 10000K ones. Took it home and turned it on.....the colour was too yellow. Figured out something was wrong and checked the bulbs. They were Osram bulbs. Checked the bulb specs on Osram's website and found out it was only 5200K!! Called up Osram personaly and was told that Osram does not manufacture 10000K bulbs for HQI-TS-150w/** series!! So I complained to the LFS...they were also not aware of the problem, in fact even their own stock came with the same bulbs. Anyway the LFS agreed to change the bulbs for me and lodged a complaint to the original supplier, who said they are investigating the matter....So if anybody have any intention of buying one or maybe have already bought one, please...BEWARE!!!

A friend of mine uses 5 ft Oceanfree MH fixture as well and the flourescent ballast does not work on 4 feet actinic tubes. He found out too late....

[alvy]

well..replace the ballast??? or attach a remote ballast outside the fixture and disconnect the original one within??
