Re: GE Lightbulbs

Lots of talk on lightbulbs today. You guys probably know this, but my
discovery for the year is that the lighbulb is only one part of the
equation. For years I've used the cheap shoplight  ($10 with bulbs)
fixtures from the home store.....like a dozen of em all over the fish room.
A  friend recommended I go to the more expensive fixtures. I tried it and
will never go back to the cheapies. The better ballast in the $25 fixtures
provides 2x the light and the bulbs now last 5x longer.

Drummond,

If I'm correct, the GE bulb that you are looking for
is the Chroma 50 a,k.a GE Sunshine. It's a full
spectrum bulb with quite high CRI, that's why it makes
your plants and fish look nice and natural. I've been
using this bulb for my planted tanks for over 2 years.

Does anyone know what the GE lightbulbs in the Orange
box are called, maybe a part number?  My local Lowes
and Home Depot have switched to all Sanyo
bulbs and don't have anything that bright.  I can
order them from work, but I can't seem to figure out
what they are from the GE website.

Thanks,
