Strange Label on my Phillips 6000k Shipment
Sorry for the crappy picture quality but the bulbs came in box where the 6000k option is whited out and the "Other" box is marked with a write in label of 65k...wtf?
I ordered the bulbs from XenonDepot. Perhaps the Canucks drank too much Kokanee before labeling my shipment?

Maybe they ran out of 6000k? Or they made a mistake? Do you know for sure you ordered 6000k? Why don't you contact them? Ahhhh....

Why didn't I think of that? Because they're already closed, hence the thread.

Those crazy Canadians are always going above and beyond. They gave you an additional 8% for the same price as the 6000K.

well even if you asked us, we wouldn't know
either way, the best way to find out is to call them because
1. they made a mistake and shipped you the wrong thing
2. they mis-labeled it
which no one on the forum will know

Curse you and your logic!
I'll call in the morning and solve this mystery Rorschach style. More to follow...

Rorschach wouldn't call, he beats an answer out of them.

Phone conversation with Xenon Depot:
me: What's up Canada? You guys own the world at hockey!
XD: Thanks, what can I do for you?
me: explain the label mystery...
XD: Haha, yeah we get that question all the time, you're good to go!
me: Alright! So I hear Elisha Cuthbert might be single again...
XD: *click*

Looks like fake Phillips bulbs (or packaging at least) to me. If it doesnt say Phillips on the bulb then they are fake.
