Replacement bulbs on E-BAY?
Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone has purchased bulbs on ebay before. This seems to be the cheaper route but as I've learned, you get what you pay for. As far as quality goes, how are they? Life of bulb, correct spectrum, ect.
If not, where do you get your replacement bulbs? I'm running JBJ PCs 96wx2. Should I just stick to JBJ bulbs? Thanks Mark |

Come to think of it, where would I get JBJ replacement bulbs to begin with? The JBJ website references many stores as distributors. In addition, the other site that was a good option has an expired security certificate?
 Any suggestions? All I need is 2 96w strait pin for a 36" fixture http://www.jbjlighting.com/ http://www.southbroadwaytropicals.com/
