I just bought 6 48" Phillips F40BL tubes for $16 each on special order
through a local Ace Hardware. The 6 tubes filled the box they came in, so I
assume that is a case. So maybe a case is not 12 bulbs.

I tried asking Home Depot if they could special order some and the guy on
the phone sounded like he had never heard of something like that, special
ordering that is. Nothing like small store service.
