Check your boxes carefully. The ones there were all returned open box. The first box I got had missing pieces. The warning labels have been ripped off the cords. Hopefully the bulbs are still good.

Habsfan

Yeah, one of the ones I got was missing a lens. I'm checking them completely tonight to see what else might be missing. I figure I'll hold onto both just to have the spare bulb.

Timm3h

The one I swapped out had the lens. I am sure you could go back and ask.

Well Rona cancelled the order today. For those who haven't picked one up in store you may be out of luck.

I suspect you may have received the last complete one Timm3h

There was a person in there at the same time as me who snagged 2.

While the price was great. I have seen them on the internet for around the same price.

My light doesn't seem to work? Anyone test theirs?

I hope everyone who bought these knows you cant look directly at the light that comes out of these. It's pure UVA, UVB and UVC and will cause severe sunburns and can damage your corneas...up to blindness.  They also produce ozone if the UVC is exposed to oxygen, and ozone is baaaad for you.
I haz reef tanks.

Timm3h
