I found some dirt cheap halides and bulbs 10,000k on ---- for 440$ for 3 fixtures with bulbs. The guy has sold 18,000 items with 99.8 positive feedback. Does anyone now what the trick is here or if there just as good?

It's probably that Odyssea crap or similar that abounds on the bay. Keep in mind that feedback is usually left immediately after the product arrives, etc. So 99% of these could fail after a month and you'd never see it on the feedback.

Without knowing exactly which listing you are looking at, there isn't much more to say... just beware. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

i agree, you're better off buying some aquactinics tx5's and getting some good bulbs if you're only able to spend around 450...will probably be a tad more, but you'll get a quality fixture
