leave it to me to find a really great light fixture for $7, only to find out that the three bulbs for it are really tough to find, and more than the fixture costs, lol. anyway, i called the home depot to see if they carried the bulbs, weird ones, g9 base, and travis in electric took my call, kept me on the phone while he looked for them, went to the computer to see if the store carried them (they are really really small) and then told me when he did find them he'd have them at the service desk for me to purchase. now that's service! the price was about a dollar cheaper per bulb than ace hardware, and comparable to online prices (without the shipping costs). i'll go back there for my g9's as long as that fixture holds out! thanks travis and home depot
