Brandless MH bulbs selling on Ebay, Get what you pay for?

Question is: Has anyone bought those MH bulbs on Ebay (example 9.99 for 250W 14K SE bulb). If so how did they work for you?

I ordered some of the 9.99 bulbs they are pulseright bulbs these bulbs are awsome for the money. There are nothing wrong with these bulbs, I dont know about the 14k but the 10k has the same PAR as my ushio 10k.I would say the 14 and 20k bulbs are from the same quality.

I've been to the plusright site looking up information on these bulbs but I've never been able to find a spectral output graph. You haven't happened to come across one, have you?

My corals have been growing well under a 10K plusright. Many of my frags have more than doubled in size in the past year.
