ATI 31 watt bulbs?

[The Guy]

Does anyone know who sells ATI 31 watt bulbs? I just got a great deal on this Coralife Luminar 4 bulb x 30" 31 watt fixture. Looked on J&L's site and don't see them listed, someone must sell them.

pretty sure ati doesnt make a 31w t5 , only a 39w but i could be wrong ....ive never seen them though

Yup, its 39 watts for the 3'.

There is real trouble with supply in Canada for ATI bulbs. Most retailers don't even bother to try because they have a hard time keeping them in stock.

Huh? who told you that?

We carry full stock all the time. The only bulb we don't have now (in next week) is the 80W Blue Plus.

Yeah? I suppose you could let the OP know who in his area stocks your bulbs then!

I gave up 2 years ago trying to get them. No one could keep stock...always on back order. This is last couple years? If so, that would be great. I will put in an order and see what happens.

The Canadian supplier stopped supplying 2 years ago, so most stores wont cross border to get them since they have other T5 options.

With that being said, we are not the only ones who carry them in stock. You will however have better luck buying them online.

Thanks

if the fixture is 30" then a 39w bulb will likely not fit

Maybe it's a compact fluorescent ?

Hey guys,

I work for a aquatic supply distributor.

The coralife fixture in question does in fact have a smaller bulb between 2ft and 3 ft t5's that really only coralife makes. so you will have to go that route. Should be able to order from nearly any retailer in WEstern Canada.

Also, we currently distribute ati bulbs in western canada as well. Have everything (aside from me grabbing the last case of blue plus 39 watt) in stock and have no problem getting them, aside from the cruddy dollar at the moment.

Any other questions on either brand lemme know
