Are these HD Redheads Any good?

I bought a kit off some ebay seller (Hong Kong) and it was decent quality. Some have reportedly dodgy wiring. Mine works great. I think it depends on the seller/manufacturer.
 
Thanks, I found the kit for $150 so I'm thinking just for the stands and barndoors it might be worth it.
 
I just bought them and tested them out. Seem awesome to me. But I haven't had more than a days exp. with the good lights so maybe I'm missing something.
 
I bought some of these.. had nothing but issues with them. One of them goes haywire every single shoot. We pretty much plan for it to happen at this point. I've had an electrician look at them, and one keeps blowing fuses and the other bulbs. I've been through about 6 bulbs, and I haven't had the things 2 months. I will NEVER buy any of these things again.
 
It really depends on who you buy from. Mine have worked perfectly. There are more than one asian manufacturer of these as the original patents expired ages ago.
 
So far one bulb has gone down but I've put about 8 hours of use on them. No problems with the other two.
