cheapest i found was these: Fluorescent grow lamps

at 17quid (3 quid cheaper than environlite). think there like a cheap brand, just look like environlites design. might as well pay the extra 3 quid!

now i know its 42watts i can look at other brands. thanks for that.

thanks, but thats over sea's. i dont know why but it seems quite hard to get hold of a 200watt bulb from a website from the UK.

if i did buy those bulbs it would prolly cost me alot on postage and id have to wait a couple weeks probably. plus... is that home depot in canada? im not sure of the exchange rate to canadian dollars, then ill probably get charged for converting pounds to dollars.

thanks anyway, im gonna try google those products in the UK.

[quote=smokeh;858133]hi,

as title says really.

if any1 has good experience / value from an internet site then please share the link so i can check them out.

it will probably be cheaper than getting them from somewhere like Homebase & B&Q (if they even sell them! - havnt checked).

just include info on things like, discounts u may of gotten, delivery times etc etc

thanks.

hey walmart the other day had 150watt equvelant for 99 cents each cant beat walmart

The problem is most places like walmart that have them nice and cheap only have the 2700k variety of lights. The 6500k ones generally cost more it seems.
