Most stores seem to be around the same price. "Expensive"
If you only want one or two bulbs then Golds is good. Otherwise check out
J and L Aquatics in Vancouver. Great prices and even with shipping you should save a bunch.

I have 65 Watt PC in stock..some at least(mostly Actinics). However, I am expecting more next week.
20.00 bucks a piece.
4 or more and I will pay shipping.

Cheapest way is Ebay them. I cant find the link now but if you get a group order together it worked out to $12/bulb. Yes they are Jebo bulbs but i have never had any problems with them.

I found the link....

did you find your bulb online, or thru their store? i'm trying to find a 96w compact bulb but not having much luck. do you need to be a business to buy from them?
thanks

The company I work for had delt with them in the past, that's why I thought I would check them out. You don't have to be a bussiness to buy from there I just walked in and told the guy what I was trying to do. He even did a bit of research into tank lighting as well. I bought the ballast, socket and bulb at the same time so maybe he gave me a bit of a deal on the bulb. They are just a phone call away I could call and check into what you need. If you want me to just PM me all the info (length, K rating) and I'll give em a call.
