For any of you out there setting up an Algae Turf Scrubber (or replacing old bulbs). Costco has 42 watt CFL bulbs on sale. There's a SCE discount on them and they come out to $.49 for 3 bulbs

I am dead serious, they are $0.49 for a 3 pack! They're $10.99 and they have an instant SCE discount for over $10! They still charge you tax on the higher amount but it's an insane deal since bulbs like this cost about $8 a piece anywhere else.
I bought 5 boxes of 3, so 15 bulbs for $7.50 with tax! That's less than the cost of 1 bulb anywhere else.
I've been using these bulbs for about a month so far and they work fine (the same as the 42 watt GE bulbs I was using at $8 a piece).
I've been running the 18 hours on and 6 hours off. No problem at all.
