I'm having a lot of trouble finding 18W straight-pin PC's in the 6500K range. I did manage to find 50/50 bulbs, but I'm looking for complete 6500K bulbs. Anyone know an online retailer that sells them?

These are tough to find at a decent price. You can find them on eBay, but the best place I've found is Innovative Lighting Solutions. 6700K on sale for $8.99.

I bought mine there for my Coralife 12" Aqualight and they shipped very quickly and are perfect!

Good luck!

Some of us do check the sponsors' pages!

But please consider that there may be several factors why I did not order from a sponsor's site:

Maybe the sponsors' websites were organized in such a way that I did not even notice that they sell CF lighting. :tongue:

It's also possible that the sponsors' sites did not even have these bulbs in stock when I was looking this spring. I had an extremely difficult time finding them for less than $25 each, and I looked everywhere.

It's most likely that the site I ordered from had lower shipping costs, takes my favorite flavor of credit card (AmEx), or ships orders faster. <shrug>

Could be anything, but nobody want to be scolded for ordering from wherever they please, while you're promoting your own site in the very next breath.

Why not a simple "I also have these bulbs on my sponsor site at aquariumplant.com" and let people make their own choices. :proud:

Could be I missed it on aquariumplant.com and aquatic-store.com because I was searching for 6700K!

I'll keep you guys in mind when I need replacements! Good to know you now take AmEx! :proud:
