ordering bulbs,wheres the cheapest right now?

**newreefman1** · 11-10-2001, 07:39 PM

They barely check their messages it seems. I called to confirm my order and it turned out that it never got placed. Go figure. I called and caught James when he answered and placed my order this time in person....shipped yesterday..should have monday. Try emailing...i get a response that way.

**VAFLYER** · 11-15-2001, 02:09 PM

I saved 45.08!!!

Friendly people too!

**newreefman1** · 11-15-2001, 02:23 PM

I got my kit in 1 day. James even followed up with me after they were shipped to see if I liked them. Youll always have issues with a dead bulb etc....bound to happen here and there...but if you call/email.....hes darn good at customer service.
If you get the VM..i cant help ya. lol. Just be persistent..it works with almost all companies....If you leave a message and dont hear back in a few hrs. Call back. They are bound to answer the phone some time

I would order from LN again and again...thinking of adding a halide to my setup and thats where I will go.

james was good,once i called them.they had 21/2 business days to get back to my emails and didnt.if i had to do it over again,the 50 bucks i saved really wasnt worth the trouble.maybe i just caught them at a bad time(out of bulbs?

)had to wait over a week ,then got a bad one,now i have to drop off the bad one at ups,kind of a hassle.ive never heard anyone post anything bad about these guys,im sure it was "just my luck".

**newreefman1** · 11-15-2001, 05:07 PM

yup. that crap happens. Had it happen when I got my HQI(wasnt from james) but from a lfs. Got a bad ballast. Went back, got a bad bulb, went back got another bad ballast.
Got a great light in the end but got the bad batch from hell in a row.

Once its over....you learn to deal a bit more hehe.

i tried the coupon -20% over $100.00
and it didn't work. i got charged reg price..
tried e-mailing the guys but no response.

**newreefman1** · 11-15-2001, 05:52 PM

I do know the coupon ended today I belive.
maybe thats why. I emailed james earlier and got a response but this afternoon have not.(been swapping a few ideas with him)

Seems late afternoons arent good for them. rofl. Try via email. Are you sure you have the coupon code right too?
