I've had some actually start smoking within 5 seconds due to crap resistors, so yeah...if Suncoast will replace them and any damage they cause, that's probably the best route for most.
Unfortunately, I can't post a link to good quality, low cost bulbs because you can't guarantee that you'll get the same thing from the same seller from one day to the next. I always check them all.
If you decide to go the eBay route, the best thing to do would be to power them up on the workbench and monitor them for 5-10 minutes to make sure they don't let the precious smoke out.
