Hey John and Bob, I too used the efile and while quick to set myself up, I was only looking to import one type of bulb, and don’t remember an option to chose a general or various option. I believe there is a phone number locally I can call. I’ll see what they have to share. I’ll certainly report back what I experience and be sure at this point to document as best I can…thanks to you both. Thanks all and have a great weekend, Mike San Diego Lachenalia are starting to wake from their dry summer nap this week!
