Re:Wher to get CF bulbs for lights over fuge

[Machiavel]

Where did you find a screw bulb with 6500K?  I tried Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire.  Couldn't find any 6500K screw bulb.

There must be one somewhere

Oh and I also read (on Wet Web Media) that Chaeto will need a dark period or rest period for better growth. 

But I am really no expert since mine is dying I am trying a new 23W (light as a 90W) screw bulb at 4100K right now.

Lots of 6700k out there.  Home depot has em.

I got mine at Canadian Tire.  Some brands don't list the actual bulb temperature - a general rule of thumb is that a "Daylight" bulb is 6500K

Ya CDN tire the box is a powder blue color
Says 6500k daylight right on it.

What wattage? say that 10 times really fast... LOL

I'm using a 23W

[Bob P]

Mine are 26 watts
I say "are" cause they come in a two pack
about 12 bucks a pair. When they are on sale around 9.99
I grab some. I've got a lifetime supply I think.
Only had one blow in last two years.

I had several spares but twice I've dumped my light into the fuge and shorted them out.  I have no spares now so need some of these.
