They are the one that told me the part number on Merv's site are US and they don't have know what might match them.
I tried talking to the rep from the manufacture but he was always gone when I arrived.

I've been using a Philips Natural Light 75w halogen for a couple months now. The thing grows cheato like crazy but it does throw out quite a bit of heat. I only have it about 4 inches over my sump because there isn't more room in the stand and I broke 2 glass covers with it. If you can put it up a little higher it would probably work really well for you.

It was under $10 at HD.

Hey I found this bulb:

There are lots of other bulbs too. Looks like there's just a flat rate USPS shipping of $7.90US.

Anyone else interested in jumping in? If so, I'll get the ball rolling...

Think they'll ship to Canada?

Of course they do, that's why I'm asking if anyone else wants in. They'll ship to canada via USPS, so it's really cheap.

I just had a look again, and I think I'd perfer to find a 'spotlight' style light, as they are easier to clean salt creep off of. (something my 'fuge lights get a lot of)

They sell LOTS of different bulbs, just browse around the site. The one I linked to is just a suggestion.
