Tridonic is a good brand, my personal favorite is BAG but Tridonic is often cheaper so it's swings and roudabouts.

Tnx
I'm not a fan of discussing prices and discount structures on an open forum. Obviously being a long standing and trusted customer helps because the supplier knows your abilities and they know they're not going to get unnecessary warranty returns so they can give better prices. Volume is another big factor in the prices they'll give you. We pay less than you but we're a listed OEM. Our supplier is in Cape Town and I've been dealing with them for 20 years.

I know most customers work the other way around but last year I bought a Christmas bottle for my 3 main suppliers who have given us outstanding service and prices for many years. It was a good investment, I deal directly with the main branch manager, I don't get put on hold when I phone and I never stand in line at the counter and if I need something on a weekend it's never a problem.

I'm not familiar with the exact fittings but were paying less than 100 bucks for a cheap 38w T5 fitting with electronic ballast. The lamp price means nothing without the make and wattage. PM me if you like!!
