Anywhere that carries the fiji purple should carry the new gens or can order them. I would guess J&L has them but they may not be on the webpage.

I like the KZ line of T5 bulbs the best. The new generation coral light is super nice at about 14K. I would honestly just run three of the new gens and one fiji purple.
