Default Amazon 14k MH bulbs?!?!

Has anyone heard anything about these or knows what the model number means?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A385ISU9QUHIOA

Even if they lasted only 8 months instead of 12 they would be a great savings

Looks like those ebay bulbs.

And can you ship from amazon.com instead of amazon.ca? Because I tried to order a lot of things from .com but at the end of the checkout (even showed shipping), it always showed "cannot ship to the address".

I just ordered a wave kit off the .com and it shipped no prob. They used landmark shippers until Canada and then switched over to ups a the border.

Yah that's what should happen but I don't know why I always have bad luck with amazon. Maybe varies between sellers or something.

It depends on the seller, as you may or may not know amazon is only sometimes the seller sometimes they are just the middle man. It really depends on the item. I have gotten thousands of items from the .Com Site because the .ca is garbage.

If you look at the review on the 15000k bulb on that link at the bottom, the buyer states the 15000k was YELLOW, not bluish. Spending even that amount for bulbs that make my tank look like its full of pee is not my idea of a good bargain.
