Megaray from Kimbos world

[dan.hobley]

hey guys

just got off the phone to Darren ref the obvious delays on the ballast issues. He as stated above is being more than helpful with reptiles requiring uv asap, on way to me is a 120w self ballasted which will solve the problems im having atm until the 60w eb ballasts arrive. i can honestly say i feel sorry for the trouble Kimbosreptileworld is having and it seems they are doing everything they can to solve this delay disaster and i stand corrected, its not the yanks at fault but the factory in China! my bad

Darren and Kimbosreptileworld =

kind regards

p.s.
anyone else who has any issues waiting on their eb kit order and are in urgent need of a megaray to sort them out, Darren has said to contact him asap to borrow a 120w sb bulb. whether it be via email, or phone he's been more than helpful.

damn i had to by an arcadia because my tube was getting old
wish you had said it before

but in all fairness thats a very generous thing to do


do you have any estimates for when they will be ready?

[gmorris194]

Do they have the 120 SB in stock then?

[dan.hobley]

yes mate indeed they do. they're not havin dramas with them just the external ballasted

i bought the exsact same bulb 60 watt e.b and although it looked great, i noticed after 4 weeks the bulb was flicking off and on randomly, it looked off like it was blown but would flick on for a second and off again...i couldnt understand this as i was so carefull with it.., i rang darren and he assured me they would replace it as the bulb came with warrente for 6 months, he said it would be returned by the end of the week once it had been received and i sent it special next day delivery and 3 weeks later im still waiting, my partner rang them the other day as i could very raley get through after quite a few attempts without getting through to anyone, and weather thats through my work times being odd or them being very busy i dont know, well anyway...finaly it was discoverd that darren is having to test every single bulb now as the glass on the bulb was letting through to much u.v out which was dangerous for the animals, so he said he has now tested my bulb and is sending a replacement bulb out as it was faulty but with the origonal ballast which is fine and great...maybe this is also a delay?? wish i had known this before tho as i had to buy an arcadia uv as a temp measure..36 quid down the drain...scary thought about the u.v thing tho !!!!.

[cordylidae]

anyone know anything else about this?

as i was sent a mesage saying that they would have them in 2-3 weeks at the end of last month was just wondering if there had been any news recently

hey guys

ive been in tuch with Darren alot as im currently borrowing a 120 watt sb from him. he's been very helpful and has done as much as he can to help out/speed things up. ive probably been a pain with all the calls but just eager to get my bulb set.
the long delay has been getting the balasts over from the factory in china but they have at last arrived and have just under gone a rewiring maybe to uk standards or something but ive been assured that the kits will be sent out this week so hopefully we should see some possitive comments on here soon of recieved kits woop!! i cant wait to try out mine as the 120 has been amazing and ive seen a huge difference in lex. he head bobs alot now, blackens his beard and generally has alot more active lifestyle

Nice,

It would be good to get a couple of pics up to show the difference (if any) between the two bulbs.

[cordylidae]

recieved it today put it on to 'burn in' a few minutes ago


speaking of burning there is a burning smell coming from it is that normal(my holder is rated to 150w so i doubt its that)
