Tim - I think that's a bit harsh. The post you quote is just Chris Brown trying to make a suggestion to the OP - who himself is asking a perfectly reasonable question in a colour management forum. Isn't that what forums are for? The OP is not asking you to test bulbs for him, just asking anybody else's experience. Chris Brown was making a suggestion to the OP - also not asking anyone else to test bulbs on his behalf.

Harsh? I disagree. Lazy on Chris's part? Yes! How hard is it to buy the bulb and find out for his self and share with others? That's what the forums are for.
Dropping a one liner question on a brand of light bulb isn't a helpful response, and doesn't make clear whether Chris has used the bulb or is about to buy the bulb or whether he's asking if someone else is about to do both.
As you can see and I've seen in many of these types of posts the lack of responses on one particular bulb no one has used or heard of doesn't make for a meaningful discussion.
You get enough of these types of unproductive threads and I just have to throw my hands up? Let's just say the money spent on the bulb wasn't important enough to find out and share with others. That's just plain laziness.
Again, how hard is it to spend a little money to find out for yourself and share with others? Are you all lazy and penny-less?
I put about 7 years of my life sharing with others my findings on lights used for print viewing and I don't get one thank you. THAT'S HARSH!
