Online vendor for VHO bulbs

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for an online vendor that sells 48" VHO bulbs for less than $33 each.

Hellolights has really cheap prices (all 48" VHO, by nice manufacturers like URI, are under $20 IIRC).

I like to get mine local. Unless you are buying a bunch (8 ) shipping is a killer for one or two bulbs.

marine depot has them for 20 to 25 bux and they ship for free if you buy four or more.

That'll work. I buy 4 at local vendor and with tax it's $144+. I'm getting them from marinedepot.

EDIT....I'm getting them from Hellolights. It would be 90 + 28.00 shipping with marinedepot or $75.95 total with hellolights.

I'm going with hellolights.

Thanks,

With MarineDepot, you only get free shipping if you purchase at least 6 bulbs.

That's more money than I want to spend.

I prefer to pay the extra and buy mine local. Ive known a few UPS drivers. Also, Ive seen what can happen to badly shipped bulbs first hand.

Believe it or not. A few weeks ago I bought three new URI 48" actinics local and much to my suprise one of them wouldnt fire no matter what I did. I was able to drive right back to my LFS and get a new one that worked. I'd hate to pay return shipping on a bad bulb. Even if shipping was free it would still be a hassle IMO.
