I havent been able to find any up this way...LOL...and I gave up when I found out the price on them! I think someone told me they were upwards of $80 (don't take my word on the price, I just remember them being significantly higher than the fluroescent bulbs, my memory and I don't get along very well these days >( )

Oops my bad, was thinking of different bulbs (active UV t-rex bulbs).

Are you sure it is only 22 watts? I don't think it is possible for a light that size to be of such low wattage, even the very small UVA bulbs dont have a lower wattage than 40.

Powersun bulbs give off both UVA/UVB rays, and are about that size. They are suitable for large enclosures.
