Dont let the no heat....low heat shit fool you either. A true 125W CFL gets hot enuff to sizzle and burn the skin right off of your arm.
I have permanent scars from such unfortunate run ins with them.
You get what you pay for.
The only way to tell is to try them and post the results.
Presonally, I think the price is way too low to be a true light for maximum growth. Just doesnt sound legit.
A lot of these companies selling low cost CFL such as these, cheat you on the mercury content inside the tubing.
This translates to a very very short life of the usefull lumens produced. While the bulb may burn for 2 years, the lumen output drops long before that.
Keep that in consideration on buying the cheapo lights like this on ebay.
These lights on this link may produce a modest yeild, but no more than one or two.
You get what you pay for....
Buyer beware.
