superior brand for mercury bulbs?

[nat_the_brat]

I was wondering if anyone has a preference for one brand over the other or if they have found one to work better then the other brands. thanks

for reptile use the cheapy ones should work. msot of the peopel i know go to warehouses and such and buy the old ones off them. its usually around $20 for bulb and balast...no lighting store can touch that price. and if you require the better bulbs, for whatever, at least you got the balast for 20.
