Premium Aquatics have a very good selection and using their regular shipping I get most things in 2 business days, order Monday, get Wednesday.

I've found that prices vary greatly by brand at all online retailers. Sometimes PA, sometimes Aquacave, sometimes Reefgeek...... all depends on what bulbs you're looking for.

www.hellolights.com has great prices and shipping is free. I've used them before and their prices stay pretty stable and shipping was quick.

Hamilton Technologies is comparable with other online stores & maybe a bit lower cost.

Shipping is only free on MH lamps. Prices are stable but they don't have some of the T5 lamps these days that others carry. I've been having some issues with them, see vendor experiences forum, and they use FedEx Ground as their default carrier which results in 5 to 7 days to get here from California. When I need something from them, I make sure to order over the weekend so it ships on Monday, I will see it delivered on Saturday.

I echo reefgeek.com They packed the bulbs that came with my retro kit very well... So well that when the UPS guy threw them on the ground they were still intact...
