Would anyone be interested in an Arcadia 12% UVB in the US?

[BotanicalStig]

Hey guys, just thought I'd throw this out there...

I've come across an opportunity to bring these bulbs into the country. Now, I've done tons of research in the last two years and from what I've gathered, the Arcadia 12% is the best UVB bulb on the market. Some of our members here have tested them against the Repti-Sun 10 bulbs and have reported happier, healthier, more colorful beardies when they used the Arcadia UVB. Needless to say, I'll be importing some for my own personal use.

Now as a feeler, would anybody else want some? I live in North Carolina, shipping shouldn't be expensive for some thin light boxes. These bulbs are more expensive than the Repti-Suns, by nature. So I can't beat the $25 price you can get on a repti-sun from pet mountain, but they won't be too expensive. I figure about $35.00 for a 24 inch bulb, $40.00 for a 36 inch bulb, and $45 for a 48 inch bulb. Not sure how much shipping will cost yet, though.

Thoughts, feelings? Should I get these in bulk and sell them on the forum? Let me know!

I think there would be a lot of interest (not from me, I'm UK already ) I know a few members have discussed wanting them in the past.
Best prices I have found over here have been www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk and www.internetreptile.co.uk but I'm not sure if either will offer international shipping :?
I would say, buy 2-3 at least for yourself so you dot have to keep paying shipping but, I'd say, many others will be interested too

I want some!! I will buy a few 18" and a few 24". I am in Canada so I am willing to pay for shipping as well.

I'll let this run for a few days to see how people respond. I'm starting to piece a few things together for my future beardie and will probably order the lights next week.

I would be interested in them. I live i Canada(BC) so if they were avaliable here in the US i would order one. I have a friend in London that has one for his beardie and he says they are great. I will take 1 24" and 1 18" if you can get it.

Hello,

I know of one person who is going to be selling them on his website but he does not quite have them up for sale yet.
The more the merrier since there should be more than enough business to go around. We need variety over here that is for sure!

I'm interested in a couple 24" - in Ohio.

So far 24 inch seems to be most popular. Does anyone need a 36 inch? I don't have the resources at the moment to place a huge order for them... So keep that in mind. It may be useful if those of you who are definitely willing to buy give me the size(s) and quantity you need. I'll fulfill the orders on a first come first serve basis- I won't take payment until they're ready to ship. I've gotten another offer to get these in bulk... so if they're selling well and I can afford the initial investment I'll be able to keep them in stock and ready to ship.
