It is for real, but I have heard that the ARC bulbs are garbage. I don't think you can get a decent quality setup much cheaper then J&L, unless you go DIY and buy just the ballast, build the reflectors, etc etc but even then you are going to be splitting hairs.
I've been using a 250 mogul ARC bulb for almost a year now, and IMO they work fine. I can't speak for their DE bulbs though. Just because they don't ding the customer like every other bulb manufacturer out there, doesn't mean they don't have a good product. Aquaria.ca got a smokin deal on them wholesale, and thats why they're so cheap.
