Best price on JBJ Viper 150 watt

All Delight · 10/09/2006, 09:44 AM

I'm thinking about getting the JBJ Viper 150 watt, or the Sunpod 150 watt for my JBJ 24 nano.

Whats the best price you've seen for the JBJ 150 watt.

I'd rather get in So Cal so I can pick it up.

Actually the best price I found was on eBay and it was like $185 + $25 or so shipping. But in all honesty, I have had a Viper 150 since about May and the thing had a bulb explode and the replacement process (between wrong bulb being sent, new bulb, broken lamp, wrong parts, new lamp) has been a 4+ week ongoing process and if I could get a refund on it, I would in a heartbeat. I am very disappointed in JBJ and their service on this lamp.

Wow that sucks! I've heard some bad stories about the JBJ, but I've also heard good ones. But bulds exploding doesn't impress me.

Maybe I should go with the sunpod.
