1000Bulbs

This purchase was the 2nd Phase of a LED Lighting conversion project. Unfortunately, the U Shaped LED Bulbs purchased for the 1st phase were no longer available. The gap between orders was only 5-months. So we selected the rectangular Shaped LED Bulbs closest to the same Color and Lumens. Upon installing the rectangular Shaped LED Bulbs it was determined the direct wire orientation was opposite than the U Shaped LED Bulbs. One Bulb was Right-handed and the other was Left-handed in simple terms. With this being the case the Bulbs are not readily interchangeable. The tombstones will have to be flipped in order to operate the other style Bulb. It is disappointing that a standard does not exist on this basic design element.

Product was great, dealing with the billing was a nightmare! I had ordered 1 case of 50 bulbs online. The representative contacted me after submitting the online order to tell me he had the same bulbs available at a cheaper rate, and did I want that instead? Of course I said yes. He generated a second invoice without cancelling the original one. I got sent 2 cases of 50 bulbs at about $145 each, twice the amount I was expecting to pay and twice the amount of bulbs I needed.To make matters worse, I asked for my $104 credit to be applied to one of the invoices. The rep and accounting people are completely confused by all of this. HORRIBLE experience. It's been 3 weeks now and i'm STILL dealing with this... DO NOT ORDER BY PHONE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE!

I am an ordinary homeowner, my expertise limited to repairs to normal house-current items. You know - 100,111, whatever it takes. For my first foray into industrial lighting I decided to pick up a high-pressure sodium bulb from the local big-box store. Gotta start somewhere. They need a ballast in order to operate, but I'm not anointed with wisdom in the ways of serious electrical devices such as that. Well, 1000Bulbs' website walked me right through it. I needed an ANSI S54 ballast for my 100-watt high pressure sodium bulb. There were 10 to choose from, and from perusing the online spec sheets I discovered that the Howard Industries unit was made in Laurel, Mississippi. That's just up the road from where I used to live! I would gladly support a local manufacturer, so I ordered that one. It showed up on my doorstep a couple of days later, complete with mounting kit, specification sheet and connection schematic. I hooked everything up the way the schematic said to and plugged it in. The ballast unit hummed, the sodium tube inside the bulb started to glow at each end, and slowly the glowing segments grew towards eachother and merged into a brilliant yellow source of quantum-emission photons at the intensity of 9200 lumens, more or less. It worked, and I put it all together with parts and technical direction from 1000Bulbs! Is that cool or what? (Yeah, about 2000 Kelvin.)

I buy frequently from 1000bulbs because they have what I need at a fair price. They also have good customer service and are quick to answer questions via email.

We have so much trouble finding these bulbs and wires for them, so we were thrilled to find them here and at a good price. In addition, everything was packaged well. Shipping was speedy as well!

I placed an order for $33:45 and over the next few days, they charged my PayPal account FIVE times for that order. Despite numerous emails and phone calls, the charges have still not been reversed.
