Where to buy Lightbulbs?

[Peyton]

I have been trying to find a cheap source of replacement CF bulbs and through searching found this place,

The prices I have found there are about half that of where I usually get bulbs. Anyone ever purchase from them or maybe recommend a good and cheap place?

If you use a screw in type compact fluorescant, which I do on my 10 gallon, Wal-Mart actually carries a 10k 20W CF in their lighting section. I use that on my planted and SW tanks 10 gallons and under, works great

The light is an offbrand though, Lights of America I think is the brand name, blue package, comes with 2 lights, it takes a while to find though, getting the right one is a PITA because most lights not intended for aquarium use dont list the color rating, or if they do, it is in a very obscure place

My local Walmart has General Electric Daylight bulbs, which are, I believe 6500K.
They come in 10W, 15W, 20W, not sure if there is a 25W.

Are you looking for screw in CFs or "regular" CFs? I've had good luck on 96w bulbs here:

I've been looking for the best prices on straight pin 55w CF bulbs. I've tried some of the better known sites but some of them want $25-30 for one 55w bulb. So far I have not found a better price than this

I can get two of these bulbs here for the price of one from the other sites.
