Myself, I think the guys selling these high dollar lights know how important turn around time is, and i just feel they drag their damm feet, and i feel like they took to long in your case !! I mean, that's like two weeks !! I just bought a new ballast out of Tx., and it took 9 damm days to arrive !! ups is getting slower than the regular mail !! It left texas the day after i bought it, It was in my state on the 3rd. day, now you tell me how it could take 6 days to deliver 150 miles away !! And that online tracking is a big joke !! it was,'nt the sellers fault. I don't think they even check out the returns, cheaper to send out a new one , and sent yours back to factory, where it will be repaired and sold again. I made the mistake of buying a light that had to be sent back to china for repairs, and the shipping was like 50 bucks !! So as you might imagine i still have it !! That's when i pmed you aasking your opinion about switching to a mh. And thank you for that and you was right. As a matter of fact, i may try running mh in the last two weeks again . Now I'll catch up on your journal !!
