LF: any 55W compact fluorescent bulb, even if its old!

Hey,

I had inherited an old 55W compact fluorescent fixture and planned to put it over a quarantine tank.

It lit up for 1 day then flickered a bunch and hasn't come back on.

Hoping it's just bad luck with the old bulb. So if someone has an old 55W compact fluorescent bulb I'd love to test this thing out.

Let me know!
Thanks,
Shao

Shao, is that the fluorescent that has 4 contacts in a row, or 2x2 in a square configuration.
Or am I out to lunch and its a curly Q?

Hey, long time no speak.
It's the 4 pins in a row that I'm dealing with.

I know, its been off and on. Real busy these days even though I am "retired"
I just looked and I had one, but somehow it got to the bottom of the box and broke

I'm sure I have a couple of these kicking around from my old lighting on the RSM 130D.

Text me.

Pick up would be in Coquitlam.
