6500L CF bulbs no where to be found

Hightower · #1 09-29-2005, 05:39 AM

Ok, I have a 7200K bulb over my refugium with the cheato nice and healty but not particularly growing fast.

I have been looking for a 6500/6700k CF all over vancouver,burnaby, and everyone has every color temperature except. i.e Home depot, Rona, Canadian Tire,Superstore,,.,,, etc

The unit above the refugium is a 13watt PC but Im thinking I can replace that with a socket bulb CF and yield more light.

If anyone knows where to find these bulbs please let me know!

Thanks

try the small guy. there's a small shop here that brings in a case of them just for fish guys. I think they're about $17 each for 26w bulbs.

Phillips Daylight 23W CFL are $7.99 at HomeDepot.

Seahorse,

I checked @ home depot andI couldnt find any 6500/6700 bulbs.

The phillips daylight I looked at indicated 4100k.

Was it a particular location? I was at the burnaby one.

I've used those over my macro no problem. Other's have also told me the Noma ones at Canadian Tire are good.

Cool. So phillips daylight or noma daylight is good regardless of what the color temperature indicates?
