Bulb supplier?

[hades02]

Where is everyone getting their 8ft T12 single pin bulbs? Was about to order on 1000bulbs but shipping is 50% as much as the bulbs themselves.

Buy local.
8' glass lamps in the hands of UPS or FedEx is just a disaster. UPS used to refuse to carry them. Not sure if they still do.
Change your fixtures to something else.
Tandem kit to 4 lamp 4' T8
Tandem kit to 4 lamp 4' LED
Replace the ballast cover with an LED ballast cover

Plenty of options....
Good luck,

I just get them at the local ace or do it best hardware.... they are like $9.97 or something like that so I don't much see the point in spending a bunch of time shopping that price...

I still get them at Home Depot. Have not really compared prices. I am into convenience. If I notice one burned out I can stop at HD in the morning on the way to the shop and pick up bulbs. They open at 6. I might feel differently if I needed hundreds of them but for me HD works.
