"Works as designed. Good price."

"Good product arrived on time works great, good value. But what's with the shipping. My little tiny 18 inch bulb arrived in a 5 foot by 3\" shipping tube with 1\/4 inch wall thickness. Not very sustainable from a green or for business."
Bottom Line
The light works as advertised, a fair price for Aquarium Lighting.
