Yeah Ace get them from lowes or HD I get the two bulb ones. The ones I have now were $14
and were black and hold T8...now if you are looking to run T5 I haven't found a inexpensive option 
And if you want to really do it get some chrome paint from Lowes while you are there and spray the inside of the light fixture to up those UVB numbers 
They are much smaller than the DIY ones which I find good because between basking light, dripper at times, and raindomes you really run out of space on the top of cages fast

Here is a good link that tells the main difference http://www.lightingsolutions.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&Itemid=26 but for us one company sells t5 bulbs and all others are t8. I know that Hydroponic guys all use t5 and more people are starting to use them in chams too....but for the cost I am not there yet
