    UVL make the very best bulbs hands down and if you have ever used any bulb of their design you will never go to another brand they have set the standards for all others to strive to meet. But as usual they beat them all hands down bar none. They used to be called URI brand's But with updating to include the t-5 and P/C they at some point changed names..

    i agree with geekdafied, and it also depends on your color combination
