    Extra HPS bulbs a good idea?

    Do personal growers have extra grow bulbs (Just in case). I understand each bulb is good for around 3 cycles but can last a year as far as light goes. How do you dispose of old bulb?.

    I try to keep a spare bulb but since I use hps and mh, I can just switch it out until the proper replacement is received.

            I have a spare of everything. When I upgraded, I just kept the old stuff as a back up.

              I did not say I will buy. This add is in our local auction paper. I know the bulbs were taken in a raid. I just think it is funny how the police are getting revenue at some ones else's expense! (And doing it with a smile).
