Lighting Components - Kelowna Area

My actinics failed this weekend. It turns out one of the T5 sockets was faulty and it fried. It was bad enough that it would not turn to release the tube so I had to take the box apart to get the tube out.

Where would I find T5 sockets in Kelowna area? How do I tell a shunted from unshunted socket?

I may have fried the actinics tube as well. Where would I find a 24" Aqua Blue?

Thanks in advance.

try a hydroponics store, one in kamloops has cheap fixtures and 10k bulbs

Great idea, thanks. Do they also stock actinic bulbs incase I have blown mine?

Place an order with J&L before 11am today via email, or very shortly thereafter via phone and they'll UPS it to you. You get it quick, and it will be higher quality than hydroponics stores. You'll only find actinic bulbs at fish stores. I know Total Pet in Kelowna has the Hagen GLO brand of T5HO. Are yours HO or not?

I would suggest Better than Nature hydroponics near mccurdy (blue heights or whatever its called? darcy's pawn brokers).. They have a huge selection of T5 hardware; And yes, they do have actinic bulbs there. When you're at the service counter, look above you and there is a T5 bulb display that has actinic bulbs in it!
