I think there is a reason that these bulbs are $3.00. I would pass.

This is their description:

Lot #402
* Factory liquidation!! We had a chance to get these at a true closeout price, and we're passing the savings on to you. One time buy on these. When we are out, we're out!
* Lots of uses: back up bulbs in case your bulbs burn out, cheap refugium bulbs, algae scrubber bulbs, etc. At this price, it won't hurt to have a few spare compact fluorescent bulbs laying around! Please note, no returns or warranty on clearance items.
* Faint "dayactinic" looking bulb, simulates deeper water. If you light this up over your tank in complete darkness, it will look more blue than white in color.
* These were part of a large custom order, and originally sold for over $25 a bulb! High quality, brand NEW bulbs for $8.50!!!
* Nice 'faint white/blue light' if you are trying to keep any deepwater / lowlight animals like eels or octopus, this is an excellent bulb!
* We must emphasize that this bulb looks faint compared to a 10,000K, Blue 7,100K or Actinic 03 bulb. Stand alone, they are a nice light.
* There seems to be a hint of actinic type fluorescing, but nothing major.
* Works in any standard Straight Pin socket.
* One time purchase, once they're gone, we will never offer these again!
* 36W Compact Fluorescent style bulb.
* Approx Length: Glass Tube= 15 1/2", Overall (end to end)= 16 1/2"
* Approx Width: Glass Tube= 1 1/2"

Yep. Lower Light corals. You could probably get away with some LPS if they are placed higher up in the tank. They are bright, but not very intense. You should have no problems with the easier stuff like mushrooms, xenia, and some zoos and palys.

I have pics of those bulbs somewhere.
