Title: T5 bulbs - local place to buy?
Post by: four_by_ken on September 23, 2013, 08:58:37 AM
So, where locally (SE MI) is the cheapest to buy T5 bulbs?

Been almost a year with these bulbs... color is no longer like it was when new.  I think I want to replace them all.

I found them for $21 at Kee's Pets.  I will use a 10% off coupon from there... so just over $70 for all 4 of them.

I want two actinic and two 10k bulbs.

Thanks for any tips.

I usually but mine from Petco. Price is usually comparable to others plus its local and they have a "decent" selection of K's and sizes/types.

Well, it's not local, but Amazon has good prices on them.

I try to avoid the larger stores if I can... I'll pay $1 or $2 more to go to a privately owned place.

Just looking to see if anywhere has exceptional deals on bulbs.

$80... is quite a lot to me for bulbs!

I would look at kensfish.com or drfostersmith.com or even petco.com but only online is where you can find deals I bought some on those sites when they were having sales for like 10 bucks
