4ft t8 recomendations?

[Ras]

looking for cheap 2 bulb 4ft t8 lights that wont break down after a few months, preferably from lowes, home depot, walmart or some other big store. OR somewhere online that has free shipping on larger orders.
I was going to buy these http://www.lowes.com/pd_245546-5865...1&currentURL=?Ns=p_product_price|0&facetInfo= because of the price and reviews are great. apparently they dont make them anymore, these caught my eye though for around the same price and same brand name. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...gId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1
unlike the first link posted, the reviews claim it breaks down pretty fast although those could just be unlucky cases..
any brand or model suggestions help.

I think the cheapest I've found so far is the htgsupply lights...I've been using them for years and I'm yet to have one break down on me.

tbh I thought I was the only one who uses htgbrand lights lol, mine have lasted 5+ yrs aswell. unfortunately they only sell t5s.

Oh.....sorry about that....I didn't even realize you said t8 lol....in that case I don't know...I've seen them for $10-$15 at some stores.

I have that utilitech but in black. I wouldn't recommend getting the black one. Work pretty well though. Light-weight. Worst case scenario it's cheap and works well enough until you get something better.
