Question

Hamilton Tech bulbs...


I just recieved my new 250W Icecap HQI ballast and I ordered 6500K Iwasaki bulbs for it. They sent me Hamilton Tech 6500K bulbs. Are they same bulb with different badging by any chance or at least close to each other? Do I need to call them back and find out why they sent me a different bulb than what I ordered? I chose the Iwasaki because it seems to be the best overall bulb for coral growth and need to know if the Hamilton will work just as well. Any help will be appreciated...

I'm wondering if Hamilton puts their name on the bulbs they sell.

I would give them a call anyway, just to make sure. I have a feeling Rick O is right on them rebranding all of the bulbs they sell.

keep us posted, this could be really interesting.
