IMO this place is the PA of lights. I have NEVER had a problem with these folks. I give them 2 thumbs and 2 toes up.

Thumbs down update on my order .......................

so i finally received the last two 10k bulbs on thursday and one is a dud,it stutters,then stabilizes at a dimm level for about 20 seconds and then dies so right away i e-mailed lamps now about the problem,and i have yet to hear from them .have any of you received a bad bulb from lamps now?how did they handle it?to this point ,im unsatisfied with these guy's,it took way too long to get my bulbs,and now this.

i dont give a rats a$$ who made it ,they sold it to me,and have so far wasted a day and half not even replying to me,poor customer service imo.its not their fault that it doesnt work,but they should be a little more prompt about it,especially since ive waited so long to begin with.im gonna try and call direct.

youre right naser,im sure they will.....................lest they create a lapsnow terrorist(freedom fighter)
im just very near to complete(something thats almost unbeilevable to me at this point, its been such a long process)and i dont want any hold ups.
bottom line,really why i posted, i wanted to hear from someone whos been thru this with them ,and how it was handled.
i want my bulb,like last week
