I have to agree with others in saying the HTG has always done right by me. Unless I am misreading the tone of your post I urge you to not go into efforts to resolve your problem with the product you got from them with such a negative attitude.

just saying,

Thanks Max! Actually as a follow up to my original follow up. The people at HTG in PA were great about the whole thing as was the guy in Charlotte that assisted me. They are sending me the 35w cfls and a few extras to make up the cost difference. I have bought some clamp on fixtures with reflectors and I can place these inches away from the girls. Most of the posts I have read regarding the combo of LED and cfl suggest to me, my set up should perform quite well.

To anyone looking for some equipment from a reputable company with fast shipping and great customer service. I also got my tent from them on an ebay auction. I paid on the 11th it is in my house today 2/15. HTG is a great place too shop IMHO
