I've been looking around for bulbs for my lights that I'll be installing here in the next couple weeks. I found some bulbs on eBay for cheap, around $0.80 a bulb but have no idea how long they'll last or how they'll look. Specs seem ok, they are 5000k, cri 83, 32w 4 footers, the brand is listed as Orion, says made in China on the box. I tried to Google them and came up empty. Anybody using cheap bulbs like this? Worth trying?

I just get bulbs from lightbulbs.com or 1000bulbs.com. The noname chinese bulbs aren't worth it.
I would not trust those.... a link would be nice....
I have not had any luck with Chinese brand stuff (NOT COO China).

I had some of the first 10Watt LED flood lights, lets say they are poorly made... pic does look nice until you open it up and check.

I need 96 bulbs, I'm just being cheap now I guess, I thought maybe I could save $100 or so, but I'm sure you get what you pay for here.

**** for 20 bucks I would try them. I have wasted 20 bucks on worse stuff before. If they work buy more. If they don't it's only 20 bucks / case a beer your out.71 cents vs

Got a Menard's local to you ? You could bite the the bullet right now up front and put LEDs in from the get go.
