Hi Sacie,

There are many different configurations of CFL bases: different wattages, 
2-pin, 4-pin, different mounting methods, etc. And the industry really 
isn't set up for retail. I get mine from several different sources 
depending on type and quantity. You can try American DeRosa Lamparts in CA. 
and Glucksman Lighting here in NYC. Or a manufacturer like Edwin Gaynor (in 
CT.)

There are others as well, but those should be a good start.

Regards,

David
