Question GE 9325 CF supplier?

Hello all


I was wondering anyone had any dealings with www.lightbulbsdirect.com ?


They are selling GE F55BX-AR-FS 55 watt, 9325K, straight pin, CF bulbs for $14.20 each (US). Shipping is $6.90 for the 6 units I was going to buy. I have not been able to find any info on them ( good or bad ) so I figured I would ask here....

The direct link to the bulb is here : http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page...um/F55BX-AR-FS


I hope someone can tell me if I should stay away, otherwise will order on friday and let everyone know what happens.....

I've personally never had any dealings with them but have seen only positive reports on Reef Central.

I've had a fine experience with them - lamps arrived packed well and on time. Only heard positive marks from others.

I have placed 2 orders with them and both situations were great. The first time they did not have the bulbs in stock, so I received an email stating that and giving me a approxiamate ship date. The bulb come well packaged. So far I can only say good things about them.

I too have been contemplating on whether I should get the same bulb from the same company. After I talked to some people on Chat and after I read all your posts here, I placed an order just now. So we shall see how good their service is I will be another positive(or hopefully not, negative) proof on this company's merits.

BTW, I ordered 3 GE F55BX-AR-FS 55 watt, 9325K, straight pin, CF bulbs as well as 2 13W bulbs. It's a pity they don't carry Panasonic socket(square pin) bulbs cus I could've ordered one from them too for my Current Satellite.

now that you mention that I do remember having to add a few things to meet the min order, but they sell batteries and all kinds of stuff that you'd buy sooner or later anyways so it wasn't a big deal.

Potential dumb question...

I bought 4 GE 9325 bulbs from lightbulbs direct and all 4 bulbs have clinging noises when I shake them.

Is that normal? I installed it and it turns on fine.
