Filth- I have no real problem with u bud. I hope your business is a success. Your note above says enough for me and expected it from u. The passive/agressive sales approach is just another sales tool. The but since you asked approach I sell is not a new sales tool. If you want to start a thread on a vendors faults go for it. I support several vendors. I make nothing but lend a comment or 2 to spread the love of the hobby so we can ride the cartels of the business. Your not the cartel are u...lol..jk. Rock on but u aren't scaring me in the least....

Lol scaring you not even in the eqation. I just have had 3 dummies say stop trying to see your wares when i never mention anything about them in this thread or in months. Its like those who suck HTG dick are the only ones allowed to say anything about them. If I say I think they are bad because...I get some nut hugger saying its because I offer stuff. yeah if I cam in and was like Hey Htg sucks and hes a dick but you know I sell this and this for this amount come buy from me...then yeah blast me but I never once said shit in this theread except refering 5 other shops I have used and stated why i felt HTG was a bad company..why cant i say why i think they are bad? If i said they are great would some dick come in and be like ohh you own a shop and like the owner so your jsut helpoingh him out. Why am I not allowed to hate HTG? i dont do that to all hydro store basically just bhis as its the one I had bad buys from and see daily posts about people mad who bought there? Please tell me why is Fletch not allowed to say how he feels on HTG and why?

filth- this is my last comment on the subject. When you are a retailer you have a very fine line between pushing your ware, bashing the competition and helping others without a financial gain. Your choice to be a retailer in store front or internet puts u automatically in that class. Have you noticed how many retailers are commenting on the forums? I think you should put a banner on this sight paid and/or a link to your website in you profile so you can sell and let others know. I am truly looking for bulb information for the future and another vendor to try that is competitive.
I am looking forward to your htg hate thread. I do want to see the extent of the issues. Yes I have had issues with them myself. More then one time but I am a very happy customer because of the entire outcome. They have and may still have bulb issues but they don't make them and the vendor they use surely is addressing it. The upgrades or free bees more then make up for the hassle. It's almost like oh shit what happened now and what will they do to make up for it. Remeber the old crackerjack box free gift...Kind of like that...lol. They are far from perfect or having great communication to customers. I am also looking forward to your link and directing me to the person who had the fire because of htg gear? That's the point I chimmed in. That scare tactic imo was poor.

I promise you that HTG is a great company so don't sweat it. I know it's an annoyance but they should swap it out for you and make it right.
In one of the grood experiences I've had with them a friend of mine ordered a few things but changed his mind after he placed the order. When he called and changed his order he was over by $20 or so and they ended up just giving it to him for free to be cool knowing he'd be a repeat customer.
They're good people so I'm sure they'll help you out.

Doesnt matter if u doubt it or not.. Its 100% true... The digi ballast caused RF interference on the line in my home and somehow it knocked out all the cable modems in a 2 mile radius.. The cable company line repair truck came to my home and "disabled" some type of line at the back of my home "until someone can come in and see what is causing the problem" ( his exact words.. ) as it was 2 AM and he said he was not wanting to come in that late. He was in one of those line repair cable trucks. This was mnths ago btw.

Well thanks for the input on the bad experiences, really. I'm feeling that I'm getting treated the same way by HTG. He's saying that metal vapor build up is perfectly normal, so I'm going to use it and see how perfect it is. If it breaks, I'll be sure to bump this thread and prove that HTG is actively full of shit.
But I'm hoping it won't come to that and my bulb works perfectly fine, obviously.
But I have a real suspicion that it will break soon after using it, and I will send them an email... and they'll just give me the run around, and I'll end up saying fuck it I'll buy a bulb from somewhere legit.
Either way, I'll keep this thread posted on how this ugly ass bulb works out.

I heard about the RF signal issue with digital ballast. That's why going with Lumatek digital ballast that issue has been addressed and your dealing with a company that specializes in digital ballast. HTG is now a distributor. The negotiated price was shocking as well but then again I may have caught the owner on a good day because he took the next week off when his wife had a baby. I know I called to add to the order.....

I use HTG. I have bought lots of stuff from them. I returned a bad bulb once, they sent an upgrade; that's what they always do. I have 3 600W digital ballasts. They don't cause any interference with systems in my house or elsewhere. I can't stop chuckling about the two-mile radius thing; the US military could probably use something like that. lol

i think the lesson is have a spare bulb in case the " shitty ones from htg go bad in three days". Really,? some dude bought like $2000 worth of broken bulbs and ballasts from htg?
my htg shit has been running good for 2 years now, and they even replaced a cooltube i broke on my first order, after telling the dude i broke it. the local hydro shops are much more expensive for the same shit buyer beware

ahhh wahtever HTG is great I love no email responces no call backs and missing parts. A1 one company for me. Ahh little fire or wires falling out of ballast never hurt anyone at least for my down week and possible fire I got a free lighter and and agrinder so its all good Great company thumbs up

The old cheap cables allow rf interference as it was the cable insulation that was incorrect all digitals that are new have correct this old issue only old stock with non recalled cordsets would allow radio interference now
