Yeah I haven't bought them yet, I need to get some ducks in a row first and yeah free shipping.
was 24ish for shipping to me to canada

still worth it if I could get what I need/want

i'd rather have the free shipping tho


I bet it really only would cost 10-15 to ship dosent need a big box

I hate the jacked shipping rates alot of people do

I kno home depot has some 23w 2700k. I think a 4 pack is around 8 or 10 bucks..
ya Ive been thru all the sites many times lol

trying to get at least 30w +

no one really carries them tho and like I said 42w is like 17-18 each which is crazy

That's because there's not that big a market for the higher watt bulbs, the 2700k really aren't hard to find, if I find any good deals on them though I'll post a link.

Idk wtf is wrong with me, I used to work at Home Depot and know how to manipulate the deals to save a few bucks, just look at the bulbs for a while till someone asks you if you need help (they will, there's a F.I.R.S.T. rule Find, Inquire, something, something and Thank) and just say you've done your shopping and [what ever store is the most believable for your area] has this same pack for [2,3,4, again what ever is believable] dollars cheaper and you think you'll just get them there, sales associates can mark down up to $50 to make a sale. Not a huge discount but it's a bit.

Princess auto, if your in canada cheapest cfls around and most variety. 100w equivalents all the way to 300w equivalents.

You guys ROCKS!!! I'm going to order a couple of the 85watt and 105watt cfl 6500's when I get my next paycheck! hah i was all gaga about going hps and mh at 400 watts for a grow closet… but the negative reports all over are scary, from overheating/fire hazard, noises, electricity heat up meaning fed/cop/police red flag and higher electric bill…. this seems to be the future. Have any of you tried the blue n red led light panels? curious to know lol "the goos ones" (or so I have read) seem hella pricey tho..

Namaste

Nah not the future, great for stealth and safety, but the future is LED, it's not there yet, but at one time neither were fluorescents.

and 4 300watt 2600k for my flower closet i got to build in the next few day lol

I can not for the life of me find a reasonably priced pack of daylight cfls above 20w. I'm looking for a 6 pack of 26w for under $30, there's an abundance of 2700k for that price, why are the 6500k so damn hard to get a hold of. I know a lot of you will suggest T5 but I'm on a broke mans budget.
I just did search online and found this
http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/ge-energy-smart-26-w-daylight-cfl-bulbs-3-pack/10073874?trail=&ancestorID=&searchString=&moduleName=&startSearch=&fromSearchBox=&addFacet=

could this possibly help you out?

i take it your south of the Canadian border, does walmart down there have a website that allows you to check prices and availability of items in stores that are local to you? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but that's wut I ended up doing to find out the prices for myself.

Trust me, I barely work, I just make enough per hour that I don't have to work a bunch, so the rest of my time is spent partying, like people will see in my next update where 2 plants died as a result, or I spend it here at my computer, soaking up the vast amount of information on the internet and looking for the best deals I can find on anything.
