For $55 I could get a Jebo (I believe) 28w PC light fixture. The reason for me wanting it from my lfs is that it's 20 inches, thus the perfect size for a 10 gallon tank.

Is this a good deal in your opinion? I couldn't find a comparable price on e-bay with shipping and handling added.

For a 10 gallon tank, that'd push me up to 2.8 wpg and with my standard florescent, it'd be 4.3 wpg!

Thanks a million
 
Personally for $41.99 i'd get the 1x36w pc from AHsupply. Unfortunately the bulb is not included. 1 6700k 36w bulb from them also costs $15.99

So total it will be approximately 57.98 + around 10 dollars for shipping.
So for approximately 12 dollars more than your LFS, you could have a 36w light with a very nice reflector. All you need to do is find something to retrofit it into.

For myself i have 3x13w ahsupply. I wish i went with a 36w.

**Edit** Did a quick search on Jebo lights came up with this:

Came out to under 55 dollars ship to my door. Just to put things into perspective. Too bad they don't sell the 28 watt item you're looking at.
