some people have decent luck with them but I am with the other half of the group, they only lasted 2 months before burning out and I have tried 6 bulbs. I would rather spend the money on quality

I would just go with Phoenix 14k's, they can easily last 16 months and some go longer on them. You also do not have to fire up the 150's, they should be on a separate plug and there is really no need in running them until the tank grows in well. The ebay ones may be ok, but they may not all be a consistent color and may not last, if they don't last then they are not a bargain.
