Where to find 5000K to 6500K floodlight bulbs
 
I have a clip-on light fixture I want to replace the fixture I now have over the refugium, but I can't seem to find a 5000K to 6500K floodlight bulb. All the floods I see are in the 2000K to 3000K range. Anybody?

Lance, I was using the 6500k phillips 23w cfl's on my fuge before. does it have to be a flood? I was just getting them at walmart or superstore.

There are new bulbs by Phillips that are 1600 lumens. They are crisp white, and are growing my montis in the refugium. You can find them at Home Depot.

i thought you need those grow lights... i bought one for 6 bucks 65w

OK thanks guys. I tried our Wal Mart, Canadian Tire and Rona and couldn't find what I wanted. I'll try Home Depot next time I'm on the Island. Darren, I'd prefer a flood but a regular bulb would do too.
