Good to hear some genuine feedback about CV bulbs.
There are more reefers out there who have used CV bulbs (150W 10KK DE, 150W 20KK DE, 250W 10KK SE, 250W 15KK SE) for about 2 weeks now. Majority of them switched from other MH brands to CV. It would be good if they can share their experience, notwithstanding that 2 weeks may still not be sufficient time if proper acclimatisation to new lighting is done. Or whenever they are ready and more comfortable to do so.
To sideline a bit. There should be more “pioneers” of CV bulbs. But, it is not the case because the current version of CV SE bulbs cannot fit into the mogul sockets of some reefers, primarily because they are using E-39 socket. I have highlighted the issue to the manufacturer and he has agreed to solve the problem, starting from the next shipment.
