I think you should be sure they come with a warranty.

Warranty:
LEDwholesalers warranty's it's LED products against defects due to workmanship or materials but does not cover: bulbs, batteries, rubber grips, damage due to normal wear, abuse, improper maintenance, battery leakage, disassembly of parts, scratches to the finish (considered normal wear), or attempted repair. We offer 1 month on all our products.
that sucks it does not cover the bulbs

It seems like a good price. Dont let me stop you from getting it. I am only looking out for your best interest based on my own bad experience with buying cheap halide bulbs from ebay.

im not really worried about the price but if they would be good for the corals. if they would be good for corals than the price is a bonus

I would not recommend those. I doubt they work well for coral.

6000k's = algae. I think I'd try them on a refugium before I put them on the display.

Garbage. Not nearly powerful enough for corals, especially on a 90g tank. Sorry, there is no cheap way to light a tank with LEDs no matter what these companies claim.
