Default Where to find ballasts
Hi, I am going to go the DIY route for my T5 lighting, and was wondering if there are any local stores that would carry WH 5/7, Triad or Advanced Ballasts. If it's cheaper then to buy online I would like to purchase locally if possible.

Thanks

When I buy my T5 setup I will be getting it from AqualuxLighting. They've got the WH7 for $40 USD.
