Hi Bryson,
I would be cautious about this. They may be great bulbs, and the prices look good, but I prefer to deal with bulbs that somebody has reviewed with quantitative measurements. The loss of $25.00 would be nothing compared to ailing corals IMO.

Often cheap bulbs are poor quality so they either burn out quickly, shift spectrums, or loose intensity quickly. Although we all are always looking for ways to save money in this hobby, IMO buying cheap light bulbs is not generally a good idea.
