Wow...this is a pretty decent review for bulbs that are $10 each!

I see a lot of the cheap bulbs on Ebay, but none that match the name of the bulbs that Sanjay tested.

Not sure of the brand but looks to fit the bill of $10 MH lamps

http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=37228 As pointed out by Bryan, Sanjay's review isn't all that helpful because the brand names aren't the same. They may be the exact same bulbs, from the same production run, but we'd never know.

i'm running a set right now, the tank is mostly fish with a few softies in the tank. for the price of the bulbs, not bad bang for the buck.
i've just rec'd some hamiltons for 39 bucks a bulb and i'll be changing them soon.
