Where do YOU, buy YOUR lights?

[SlamaJama]

Well, as per post in the R.B Forum ( http://manhattanreefs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8805 ), im in need of some 250W S/E 10K bulbs, i was OK with the XM's but the reflux seem brighter, less yelo. I suppliment with 65W 03/actinics.
Right now, I have more SPS, (millies,stags, assorted acro's and monti's) than LPS, (torches, zoo's, froggies, candies, blastos) (70%-30%).

I would like to see where the least expensive, best bulbs that are around.

ALL will be concidered...

I get lights from several places. The first this I do is go to ebay and under the tank lighting section price it high to low. Usually get some good results.
Two ebay stores:
Aquacave on Ebay
Reef-Tank-Lighting on Ebay

Two other stores:
Specialty Lights
Hellolights

Between these stores you will get a good deal

Champion Lighting has a sale on them for about $60. Check them out: http://championlighting.com They always have decent prices and I find that if you find a better price and call them they will try to beat it 99% of the time.

They were one of the first to offer reeftank supplies via mail order, so they have been around a long time and are pretty well stocked.

Jim, can you compare the 14k to the 10K.

Are you using any actinics, if not how long is your photo period.

Mike, I liked EVC 10Ks I was buying them at ocean encounters.
