I only buy bulbs once a year, And I prefer to make certain I am getting the bulbs that I trust and want therefor I order them from www.thereefstop.com or if I need just 1 or 2 bulbs I'll run up to plantereef in Maryland Heights beings they are the only ones I am aware of that carry every light spec' of giesman bulbs that's 60" in length.

Yes it is. I have 8 T5 bulbs over my tank and if I buy all eight or 10 two for spares I get a discount on the shipping. If I buy just 1 or 2 shipping is murder.
