So far the best place I've found is 1000bulbs.com

The 42 watt has the best watt per lumen ratio at 66.666666 so that's what I'm thinking of getting

42 watt x 9 bulbs
= 25,200 Lumens for $105.66

It's also 238.5 Lumens per dollar

I've searched online for a cheaper price but have yet to see anything even close

The 42 watt bulbs can be found cheaper but doesn't have the 2,800 lumens the 1000bulbs.com bulbs have
 
Go to Wal-Mart ,Get 42 watt CFL'S(2700K/Flowering Spectrum) $8.44 ea. I bought 8 of those and a 4 pack of 23 watts (2700k) for $6.44<<<---AWSOME FUCKIN' DEAL, All together = $73.96 or you could just get 12 - 42 watts for 101.28, thats less than what u payed for 9 of the same lights and u dont have to pay shipping & handling!!! the 42's are 2700 lumens, the 23's push out 1600-1700. My setup pushes out 28,000 lumens. 12 - 42's would be 32,400 lumen, more than 2 - 150 HPS....RELATIVELY!!! Finally... just buy a 150-400 watt HPS for $100 from InsideSun.com or eBay.com if your grow space can accomodate it as far ventilation, because HPS's get hot. But i recently read a thread about how HPS gives bigger yeilds bcause plants can be grown bigger and the light penetrate foliage better but CFL's produce better quality bud because CFL's put out a MUCH! better quality light than HPS's. and when provided enough light on the tops AND SIDES<<<-Very Important-- CFL's can rival HPS grows in quality and density.
