I buy my bulbs on Amazon.com, but I buy the fixture at a hardware store like Home Depot or Lowe's. I'm not familiar with stores in India, but we have many members here who live in Indea.

I never buy bigger than 100 watt, and they aren't battery operated - they require electricity.

On Amazon I usually pay about $40 for the bulb, and the fixture at a hardware store is usually under $10. I don't know how to convert that you your money.

If you're in Mumbai and your torts have access to outdoor enclosure, you don't need UVB lighting. Your tort should be fine, as long as you allow them outside.
