That is a 4x4 tent and the first time I've run the tubes in there. The CFLs are also reptile lights but essentially a t5 coiled into a ball. With the CFLs all of the light is concentrated so you can really feel the UV by just holding the back of your hand to it - with the tubes this is less so but most likely just due to the broader disbursement.
If I didn't already have the t8 fixtures in there I would probably use the CFLs simply due to price - my 15w tubes are the same price as the 23w CFLs I believe. Might as well get more UV for the price right?

Depends on shipping. Some places are slightly more expensive but cover shipping if you order over $100. Without considering shipping this is the cheapest place I can find: http://www.asavings.com/p-43295-exo-terra-repti-glo-100-26w-desert-compact-fluorescent-lamp-pt2189.aspx?utm_source=Google%2BShopping&utm_medium=Google%2BSearch&utm_term=PT2189&utm_campaign=Google%2BProduct%2BSearch
This one has free shipping but is more expensive: http://www.joshsfrogs.com/exo-terra-repti-glo-compact-26-watt-10-0-free-shipping.html
