Hi Drummond
Here is the best price I've found on the web for t8 5000k bulbs. These
bulbs are made in Germany and are of high quality.
I recently purchase several cases of bulbs from this company. They also
sell 6500k daylight bulbs for a reasonable price.

I don't like the warm and cool bulbs because they don't give good colors.
The daylight bulbs, sunstick, chroma 50, design 50 and others all are 5000K
color which is equal to noon day sunlight or as close to it from a ~$6 4ft
bulb. I compared a lot of specs in the manufacturers catalogs and
generally
they have the highest output and CRI(color rendering index) which means you
see colors closer to what they really are. I found three different
packages
of 5000K bulbs from the same manufacturer at Lowes once that all had the
same model bulb. Different price, different package, same bulb. I bought
6
of the cheaper ones.
Check what brand your local stores carry and look at their web site. You
should be able to find a 5000k bulb with out any problem except in the
small
sizes, like 8 and 15 watt.
Philips - Natural Sunshine
Sylvania Sunstick or Design50
GE Sunshine
