Best place to buy T5 Bulbs

I would imagine there are at least 100 threads out here as to where to buy T5 bulbs, best brands and what Bulbs to run, however I found this site and I am curious to know if anyone has bought from them.

My local grow store wants $10 – $15 a bulb and I run 16 4’ bulbs, the math says that’s bullshit at best.

Although this site has a 50 bulb minimum order, they are only $1.90 a bulb or so, one could get 50 bulbs for more or less the cost of 8 – 10 from the grow store, fish tank store, hardware store.

I am way new to this game, before I order bulbs I could use a bit of input from someone that truly knows what they are talking about.

I have these fixtures - Sunlight Supply Sun Blaze T5-48 4-Foot 8 Tube HO Fluorescent Grow Light – I want to get fresh bulbs for them, both 6500K and 3000K.

Of course thank you in advance for you guidance and wisdom.

Also the pic is of my first attempt at cloning, ok so its my first clone that lived I should say, I just moved it into a 3 gallon smart pot, coco and rice hulls, I use David's Grow Simply Path for Nuts, the full lineup.

The 50 @ $1.90 deal sounds reasonable. Not sure why you would need 50 of them though unless you just want to stockpile them @ that price.

They have a min order of 1 case at a time, 50 per case, it would end up being 100 bulbs total, you are correct, that is allot of bulbs for sure and I really have no need for that amount of them, the price is very hard to beat.

t8 bulbs wont fit in t5 fixtures. you really want t5 HO light bulbs for growing with t8 bulbs are better suited for lighting for the purpose of being able to see then they are for growing weed, while t5 HO lights are designed with growing in mind. I know it seems expensive for sunblaster bulbs but they are worth the money in my opinion
