Im looking for decent watt bulbs, up to 42, no higher. Im looking for 6500k spectrum but cannot find them anywhere that isnt a huge rip off... anybody find any deals? HD and lowes only has small watt bulbs like 26 at the most and there was barely any 6500k

Check this out: I got my 125 watt CFL and reflector from this company... It would help to know if your from Canada or the United States though.

This is the link to 42 watt CFL's with the specific colours for growing:

I am US. Those are still pretty expensive not including shipping, im not trying to cheap out and i understand value, just its a cfl bulb people shouldnt have to spend an arm and a leg to buy them at that spectrum, i need 8 so as you can see thats quite a bit of money for some cfl bulbs..

Check on ebay. I bought most of mine from there.
thank you so much, i found 4 bulbs @ 45 watts each 6500k for $19.99 free shipping, and to think some of those places are charging more for just 2 bulbs with less watts not even counting shipping. +rep EBAY ALL THE WAY!

You are not going to find them much cheaper. Try to keep $10 a gram pot in mind, Scrooge. You can get cheaper maybe but the cheap ones I have bought in the future fail fairly quickly. Got me out of the habit of buying cheap bulbs of any type. You get what you pay for if you're lucky.
