Need new T5 bulbs

[sickboy]

Would you recommend ATI or Geismann or other? I have been running the bulbs that came with the fixture, which are the current bulbs, for about 5 months now, and it will be time to switch them out. What brand would you suggest, and any Ideas where the cheapest place to get them is?
4 39 watt bulbs (36"), have 2 10k and 2 actinics. Want to put in 2 new 10K's and 1 420nm and 1 460nm. Would this be a good setup? Or should I just skip the 460?

No recommendations?

5 months old ... IMHO you have 7+ months more like in those lights. they say the life of T5 are 12-18 months. my next bulbs i`m going to try Geismann.

Well, I'm just trying to replace the standard Current bulbs with something with a bit better spectrum. Then I can keep the Current bulbs as back-ups.

also if you are overdriving ur bulbs like i am with a ice cap 660 it shortens the life of the bulbs not to 6 months tho. but keep that in mind if you are
