Complete-it.ca can be good. Otherwise just shopbot.ca it.

I would avoid third party bulbs.

I should also add, since bulbs are expensive, do what you can to extend your bulb life, especially since they die a little faster at our altitude generally:

1) Do not run them for shorter than 30-60 minutes at a time.

2) Do not turn your projector on/off quickly

3) Do not turn your projector back on when the bulb is still hot/warm. It is not like a car where when things are all nice and warm it is easier on it to start.

Avoiding those things will get you a lot more life out of your bulbs than otherwise.

Huge online and eBay presence but you can pick up right from their office locally downtown. I've been buying from them the last 10 yrs.
