Todd-

I don't know if they are BRLs or not, I didn't keep the packaging. They 
seem to do the job OK for my uses (non-video). They are rated at 2000 
hours so burning out is not much of a worry. I keep a 50, 75 & 100 on 
hand for use in varying conditions. Compared to my old pelican, the AUL 
is the difference between night & day (no pun intended). I will try a BRL 
and see if I can tell the difference.
