You'll almost certainly have to buy it on line.

I think with Paul Buff equipment, online os the only option.
You might be able to mail order if you want to go low tech.

I'm staggered at how cheap those tubes are.

A mate of mine just had to replace one in one of his monoblocks and it
cost him ~AU$250.

Yeah, that's a miniscule price. The tubes for my lowbuck SP monolights  
are $90.

Tubes for my Photogenics are ~US100.00. The Paul Buff ones are very 
inexpensive indeed.

Give them a call at their 800 number and they'll make sure you get  the 
right one.  Their customer service is some of the best around - as are 
their products.
