Albrite can indeed get 6500K compact fluorescent lamps...you just have to know the right person...

A friend of mine ordered a case through Albrite a while back, but it took, literally, a year for the case to arrive from Japan. It took so long that he had basically forgotten that he had payed for them. The price on them was good though; the cost was lower than John's cost. But the hassle might not be worth it.

Hi,

Does anyone have any information for a diy pc fixture? The cheapest I have seen is a 110w dual lamp fixture from All Glass Aquarium for $200. I have read in some news groups that there are certain types of common electronic ballasts that
can be adapted to drive pc lamps. They seem to be more readilyavailable in the US. J&L sells a dual 55w kit for about $200 and it doesn't even come with reflector nor lamp, taht pretty steep! I want to build a dual 55w system. Any ideas???

Thanks!!!
