Well I'm about to purchase my lights and this site seems to offer the best deal for what im looking for. My local Fish Store wants 1 96 watt PC retro for 200 bucks!! Anyways, has everyones experience been the same when using these guys?

Just wondering about return policies, replacements things like that? I chose them over Champion lighting and AhSupply both. Is there somewhere else I should be checking?

Any help is appreciated and thanks!

I'm basically a new reefer, but I have talked to others about my lighting and was recommended to buy from HelloLights. So I know it's a popular place to purchase lighting around these parts HTH

I made a purchase from them not too long ago. They were great, package arrived about 4 days earlier than I expected. West coast to East coast is usually 7-8 days ground UPS (read as 8-10 days) and I had the products in about 3-4 days. They have my vote of approval. I also got a 2x65W retro from tham and the ballast weighs about twice what my ballasts from my Custom Sea Life weighs and the lights seem a little brighter (could just be an optical illusion).

I got my lights from HelloLights as well. =)

If you have any questions just give em a call. Their toll-free number is on the web site and they don't mind answering questions.

I've purchased lights from both ahsupply and hellolights and have been happy with both companies.

Oh geez, this is going to haunt me locally, but I get my lamps from Hello Lights and Marine Depot. Both great customer service. I get my MH from Hello Lights because their cheaper (even after shipping) and VHO from Marine Depot because I order 15 tubes and get free shipping.

I bought a 36 inch retrokit 4 VHO's electronic ballast setup for my 30 gal from hellolights and it rules! the price was good too!

Another Hello Lights testimonial - bought the 48" 440W VHO w/2X Actinic and 2X Super Daylight and love it. My frogspawn has grown 2 new heads in 4 months - Xenias recovering from near death and pumping like mad - and that's on a 30" deep tank. Can't beat the price either. Can't wait to get that extra 10" off the top of my tank!
