Cheaper bulbs are probably coming from China too.

See if Philips or Osram do 55W lamps.  They're the biggest OEM suppliers.

No wonder the chinese get a foothold in markets such as these....the price differential is far too much for me i'm afraid

I've gone for a cheap set of bulbs. Only time will tell if it was foolish and I come back for some ballasts as suggested by your good self
