eBAy MH Bulbs
Any experience or opinions with the metal halide bulbs for sale on eBAy? They are about $30 shipped to your door, less than half the price of name brand bulbs. Do you think this are true to color and last as long?

I love them, been using them for 1.5yrs now (not the same bulbs)
I change them about the 5 month mark, just to be on the safe side, very nice crisp color, I've got great growth too, my clams are under 250 watt SE 20k's, not as blue as I'd like but they are CRISP, this is with hamilton ballasts...  I got mine from gretdeal |

if you want a bright halide and not really tuned to what colors you want to see then there fine. I stick with reeflux or xm from now on...
