What is the cheapest website (pref US) that sells pl-l Lights, sockets and ballasts?
Any that sell the 2700k color spectrum?

I am considering a 2x3000, 1x6500 all 55 watts. This is for a 20hx24wx15d cab. Would that be the best way to go? Or should I add one more? and if I do add one more does the workhorse 8 power 4 bulbs? as it seems the workhorse 7 only does 3?
the Workhorse 8 will power 4x 55watt bulbs just fine,
there are some who feel running the ballast at max
is a bad idea but myself and others have had no issues
running 4 bulbs.
From what I have read, running 4 55w lamps on the Workhorse 8 voids the warranty. Obviously the manufacturer doesn't think it's a good idea.
when i made my 4 bulb light with a workhorse 8 ,everything i read said you could run 4.now they dont recommend it and say 3.im thinking they didnt want to cover any more failures under warrenty.with that said my light has been running 18/6 for at least two years now running 4 55 watt 4100k and they are the cheap ones from 1000bulb.
Agreed. 4x55w with a Workhorse 8 has been absolutely fine with ZERO problems at all.
My guess is that if there has been any issue which has developed in relation to these ballasts, it's been because of continuous use at max wattage with the ballast being located in an area without good ventilation.
I have jad no problems at all with them and there have been very few -- if any -- reports on ICM of any growers having difficulties. The negative comments appear to be attributed to those magical, mystical, anonymous crowd referred to as the "I've heards" and "some people are reporting".
Meh. This is a tempest in a teapot. Use 'em at 4x55w without guilt or fear and grow yourself a quarter pound of happiness.
