According to Jeff at UVL, once he pulls the trigger 5-7 weeks. I copied him the verbal commitments which is ~ 1/2 what he needs. Hopefully, he sees the benefit of going forward ASAP.

(EDIT) So now I see Prof has a bulb thing going. Awesome! Not that it's a him or me thing, but in fairness to UVL, I need to know which direction you guys who verbally committed to UVL 660s want to go now. UVL's 660 minimum is 288 bulbs. Seems like we could pull that off a lot faster than 500-1000, no?

PetFlora It looks like a lot of people are down to make this happen. You put this into action, so let us know exactly what we need to do to make this happen

I didn't see a pic
I'm realy interested in the bulbs that you are haveing made for the community here is there ne way of telling how much or when the bulbs would be ready for purchase I know that you only have a prototype but that means you shoulda be able to atleast give a eStimate of when and how much

It does look a lil thick for a 4ft

But looks like it has a nice blend of color - is there any chance of getting a spd or nething

OOOHH Pretty! Here it is bigger!!!


Nice!!! looks like a T8, or 36" t5?? just looks a little thick for 4ft t5.

T5, T8, and T12 are all standardised diameter. The number in their name is that diameter in 8th's of an inch. i.e. T5's are 5/8", and so on. Or at least, that's how one of the lighting companies broke it down. They may have been oversimplifying to avoid questions though.

hardest part is to convince manufacturer it will be worth it to buy 2k$ in phosphors for a 1K$ order LOL! the far red phosphor is quite expensive @ $195/Kilo 10Kilo minimum.... :-/
