Not available in the states, except the cheap chinese knockoffs that all burn a different color and last only 5 minutes. 

Its the 250w Osram double ended daylight HQI lamp, I only need one. If anybody has one (new, unused) and would part with it for $50 or so ill take it. I dont care if it has original box or not, its going to be immediately used in a floodlight facing my house.
There is one on Ebay but its 4200K, I need the 5500K

If anybody nearby I could drive to Chicago, Milwaukee or surrounding areas

So i found one, but its in Germany. Ive never purchased anything online from over seas vendors. Would you guys recommend it?

I have purchased items from overseas before without issues

just make sure seller packs it well with lots of padding


only 1 left

Ordered it, hopefully ill actually get the real thing, if its a chinese copy ill be pissed  Seems a bit weird that shipping from Germany to US, to my door is only $8
