![]() I've been using eBay builds for a couple of bulb changes now. I ordered from two different eBay vendors but the builbs were virtually identical. They were marketed as 15K aquarium DE halide bulbs.
Pros. Cheap. I ordered 3 bulbs for the cost of one Phoenix bulb. Cons. 1. Colour temp isn't quite what is advertised. It is more like a 12-14K bulb. 2. They seem to colour shift sooner than brand name bulbs. I changed mine out at 8 or 9 months instead of 12 like I did with Phoenix bulbs. Anyway, that's my take on them :-) |

![]() I heard the same thing so when I did my first order I wanted 15k but ordered a little higher k bulb for that fact.

![]() No they definitely were not as blue. If that's a problem for you then I wouldn't get them. I supplement my halides with 22K t5s so this wasn't a problem for me really.
