True but spending 10-12 bucks a bulb times 8 is 80 -96 bucks multiply that by trying 2 or 3 different types and you got a 300 dollar experiment to find what you like .I spent less than 8 bucks and once I know which ones provide the light I am looking for I can replace them with name brand as they burn out. That is if I want to believe that the name brand are actually made in different factories .If they don't work at all when they get here Amazon will give me my 8 bucks back so why be a brand name sucker ?
