Ugh you broke one? That sucks.

Yeah, all I know is that there were quality control issues with their lights.

Where did you get it from?

I know marine depot still have them. Which one from this page?

i got the lights from my uncle for 70 USD so even if they arn't the best it will get me buy till MH are in my budget

i just got a replacement bulb to match the old one
it is a 10K half daylight half ultra actinic

also talked to my LFS and aperantly another company bought out CSL and is going to continue making the bulbs and a new series of lights, so i should be easy to get a replacement later

 

That's a good price!
