Melody Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'm not sure about there, but here the best selection of them is at Home Depot & London Drugs. Since they're chains it should be similar there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Riverfront carries Envirolites, which are 6400K and come in 26W, 55W, 125W, etc....we are out of the 55W right now, but can get some in easily and quickly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Biggets available @ HD or Rona are the 23W Philips Daylight bulbs as far as a screw-type mount. They are about $12 for a two-pack, though to meet your wattage requirements. The ballasts on these things get pretty warm and they are HUGE in size, so check carefully in your specific application to make sure you have cooling available and room to mount them. Just an option for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 2 other bulbs i have had success with are a hydroponic bulb from the "Hothouse" just up the hill from Riverfront on Edmonton trail ($18) and the GE daylight bulb from home depot ($8). Both kept god color and intensity. That being siad I really like my bulb from Riverfront as it seemed to stay in the correct spectrum and not lose intensity as fast as the other bulbs.

Just to clarify, their bulbs have "good color and intensity" and not "God color and intensity". The "God color and intensity" only comes out if you are really into hydroponics - if you know what I mean! Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
