Hey BIGGUN

Yes they look nice, but how long do they last and on what ballast? How about this first statement in the ebay link you posted

Quote:
These bulbs have similar coloration and PAR value to the CoralVue 10K bulbs. Nice bright color with a touch of actinic.
CV bulbs have been tested and on specific ballast I might add. They are good bulbs IMO. The results have been publicly displayed as well. JBNY himself has done extensive research on this area and made it publicly known. But a comparitive to a bulb he has tested just does not do justice to me. What scares me even more is no pic of the bulb itself!? or even the manufacturer of the bulb? Have you emailed this person to ask such stuff? CV's are cheap enough as they are from reputable dealers....why not buy a known CV cant you find them for near the same cost?

Some manufacturers have a reputation for quality products and others do not. Besides, pictures can be deceiving. I always like to know exactly what I'm getting whether it's a good price or not.
