Hey Brian,
I've been running the evc's for about 11 months. They must be doing something right, because people get weird dropped jaw syndrome (wdjs) when they see my colors. I organized the group buy for our club. It actually started as me wanting to get another set of bulbs because mine were about due up, and just wanted to give anyone the oppotunity to piggyback my order. After 4-5 people wanted to order I asked Chad @ Reefscience if he would give us a group discound and he was more than happy to. It was more than 10 bulbs to get the $45 price. He personnaly told me that he would extend the same offer to any other club. He was great to work with, And the order went flawless, I think we ended up with about 15 bulbs and everyone just came to my house and picked them up. And Yes, Sanjay has tested these bulbs, you can ask Chad for that info when you speak to him. He also responds to e-mails suprisingly fast! FWIW, I was running radiums for the past year before that, and am more than happy with the EVC's. And don't ask for pics, because I cant get a color other than blue out of my pictures (i suck at camera skills).
