    Default Lighting - San Antonio

    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.

    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.
