Philips Daylight Delux F40DX 6500K T12

Philips Advantage F40ADV 5000K T12

Does anyone know where to pick some up? I checked the home depot and nothing, as well as rona.

Hi Don,

Check with Buchanon (sp?) Lighting. If they don't have precisely these bulbs, they will often have a similar bulb with the same specs. They seem quite knowledgable about the specs that are of interest to us as aquariasts (colour temp, CRI etc).

Good luck,

Ron

I've been to Buchannon as well, and I believe they do carry Philips products. If they don't have it in stock, I'm sure they can order it for you.

Hey Don,

I bought my Philips Daylight Delux F40DX 6500K T12 at Rona on Innes for $3.21 each... their 48" 2x40W Shop ballasts are also less than 18 bucks!!
I believe M&T Glass(just down the road on Cyrville) will also custom cut you 2 pieces of glass for a sliding top.

Enjoy!
