    It's probably true. With less and less people buying metal halides, the pool of those purchasing replacement bulbs is shrinking.

    I'm just sad that the picture of my tank will no longer be on the box.

    Seems like a lot of people are going back to halides, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, you're probably right, the market is shrinking as more options are available.

    You can't beat halide in my experience. I've used halide, led, t-5, t-5/led. I prefer halide, followed by t-5/led combo
