Great light poor amazon packaging...My bulb cam damaged too... The manufacturing box amazon decided to send me had a gouge on the side of the box... placed inside a large amazon box without any packaging paper, peanuts, or air bags.so the box with in the box can thrash around in transit.but amazon customer service came through and gave me a credit for the bulb 32 dollars but then the price of the bulb jumped up to 35 dollars.. lolI say buy it but only through amazon as the seller so if your bulb is damaged in transit no hassles to complain...But hydrofarm packaging of the bulb itself is to blame too, shame on them for not having the bulb more protected!!!
