Get Bulbs Cheaper

Buy the exact bulb model number and run a direct search across industrial lighting suppliers. Price gaps are massive, with identical metal-halide or exposure bulbs showing up around one hundred dollars instead of the four-hundred-plus charged by screen print vendors. 

This isn’t about cutting corners; it’s about refusing to burn cash on markup that gives you nothing in return. Matching specs protects your exposure consistency, and saving hundreds per bulb protects your budget. Keep a simple log of model numbers so reordering never slows you down. 

Treat bulbs like any other consumable: sourced smart, replaced on schedule, and never purchased out of habit.
