| Re: ebay lights opinion Doesn't look like a bad deal. Check the reflector though - you want induvudual reflectors on each bulb rather than 1 big one.

| Re: ebay lights opinion I just looked thru the description and it says it has independant reflectors. I would say that it is probably a good light. But to be on the pecimistic veiw. In this hobby you usually get what you pay for.

| Re: ebay lights opinion I was looking at those as well. I emailed 5 random buyers of it from the sellers feedback and asked them about them. They all responded with good things to say. Please keep us posted on what you decide.
