eBay bulbs.

[Rosseau]

I'm wondering what the consensus is on these cheap eBay MH bulbs.

i.e. http://cgi.ebay.ca/HQI-70W-DE-14K-M...ryZ46314QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I know it has come up before in the lighting forum, however as a non-paying member I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.

Meh - whatever.

In the time that I posted this I bought a Current USA bulb from ebay.

I bought my MH bulb (20k) from ebay for around $35.00 shipped. Its a cheap one, so the color isn't as blue as a higher end MH bulb, but it does the job, and looks more like a 14k bulb...just the right amount of blue! I'm buying a better one when I get my tax refund, this one was just a temporary as my other one was pretty old.
