Hello All,

I need to replace all my lamps...$$$$

I have 4 4' VHO's and 3 175 watt MH's. That's about 1000 watts. I keep talking about upgrading but am waiting for a good deal.

Anyway, being relatively new to the area, I was wondering if there was a good (cheap) local resource for bulbs or if it's still cheaper to shop on-line. I've occasionaly found good deals at other LFS's in different locations.

I haven't bought bulbs in a few years and considering how the great deals on lighting change so frequently, I thought I would ask.

Thanks for any help!

Might also want to give both Louis and CB a call. Both have lights at reasonable prices, and you don't have to worry about shipping VHOs.

Yeah, definatly call Louis up before ordering anything online, he can get most everything and it usually will come the next day

Louis quoted me an unbeatable price on Hamilton 14k DEs. I just haven't decided whether or not I want to spring for them! CB generally has VHOs in stock, for good prices.
