T8 lamps

BTW I believe that the only reason that specialty T8 lamps are expensive is
because in N.A. they require special labeling. Millions of T8 lamps labeled
36 watts are made every year but probably only thousands of T8 lamps labeled
40 watts are made each year. Since the 40 watt lamps are rare, they are
likely to cost more even though they are the same lamp. That's one of the
reasons why Hagen gets away with relabeling a $2 36 watt WW lamp and
repricing it at $20.

I'm not sure this is true. Aquarium lamps are way more expensive than 
standard T8's in England as well, labelled 36 watt or not.
