Read the comments made under bulbs on the link you provided,
it says alot that they burn out and are not durable at all.

Ooooo I was thinking the range was up to 2900 not 2700, thats why I was confused a to why people say the spectrum is unusable. N no worries I still intend on fully upgrading till I can get rid of these babies!
