Probably Critter Jungle & Big Al`s.
Best to call & confirm availability & price, both are sponsors here.

P.S.Which spectrum are you interested in?

+1 to calling ahead.  I think BA's (east end) usually just has the Zoo Med T8 bulbs in stock.

I believe Ultra Sun is 6000 or 6500k. Could be wrong though.

They do, also home depot carries T5HO bulbs in the 48" length (phillips) for $9. The one in Kanata does anyway. You just have to look hard.
