UV Sterilizer bulbs

[loaches r cool]

After recently getting a Coralife Turbo Twist I was surprised at how expensive the replacement bulbs were. I mean they are pretty much regular CF bulbs that simply dont have phosphorous coating, so they should be cheaper right? Since when does a 9W bulb cost ~$35 !?! Well I guess since they arent produced as much the cost is higher. Anyhow, I came across this site that seemed to have good prices on replacement bulbs if anyone is interested: http://www.ecrater.com/search.php?keywords=germicidal+lamp&cid=0
For example a 9W replacemtn bulb for a Turbo Twist 3X is $13.99 and a 36W replacement for a TT12X is $23.95

I have never bought from this company. Any want to be guinea pigs?

Heck yeah...I'll be the little piggy That is, if I ever need a replacement bulb. Not likely anytime soon since I don't use the darn thing :dance2:

That sounds like a good deal, though I have heard about quality issues with them. After looking though the cheapest one I could find for a jebo 36W replacement bulbs was $19.50 + $5.85 sh http://cgi.ebay.com/36-Watt-UV-Bulb-Jebo-UV-H36-UV-Sterilizer_W0QQitemZ270082018086QQihZ017QQcategoryZ3212QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem. Care to provide a link for the $11 one?
