HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

A bit expensive though compared to when they were still made.

Yeah, but Radwell aren't exactly known for having the cheapest prices around.

Really sad to see how they've skyrocketed in price. I remember a few years back when we were getting those 4 packs of the 50 and 75w versions for under $40 from that one eBay seller.

I can find the 75's for okay prices, but the 50's are way too expensive for me.
Must be because EYE discontinued all of their mercury lamps for that stupid Minamata Convention thing... (they were also the last manufacturer of North American 700w H35 mercury lamps.  :()

Yeah, anyway they were $40 (CAD) from a local lighting supplier back in 2017 when they were still able order them. And eBay had them in lots of 4 for around $40 (USD) around 2019 too.

 I bought one of those lots of 4 back then .  One's currently in use  , One got traded to another collector and the other 2 are going to stay with the collection  . As for the 700's , I bought one of them from a seller in Ga. Honestly , I'm not impressed ! That EYE 700w /DX lamp seems to take almost twice as long to run up than any other 700 I have !
