Anybody got some cheap sources for T5 HO bulbs?? I'm basically looking for lights in the 6700~10,000K range. All i have locally are the Hagen Glo series bulbs but they are about $20+ for a 48" bulbs.

Let me know if you guys have any cheaper sources.

Thx!
 
good price thanks! i assume there's not much difference between 6500 and 6700k right?

Not enough for it to matter to the plants. Some will tell you one is better than another, but there really isn't a difference in growth rate.

Quite the way to make cheap bulbs, ridiculously expensive. Look for them locally, find anyone that sells fluval filters, and they should be able to get you the HO T5s from Hagen.
 
thx. i called a local hydroponics store yesterday. he sells 48" 6500k T5HO bulbs for $16. not cheap, but cheaper than this website. ill keep looking. too bad lowes or home depot doesnt sell HO T5's :irked:
 
good deal, thx! i just asked to see if hed be willing to sell these in 2pk's since thats all i need
