Default Fuge Light Question (HELP)

Im still wondering where i can get a screw in compact light bulb for a new fuge i have.

I've seen the recommends on here...some say you can find them at Home Depot. I've been there, Canadian Tire, Walmart and a special lighting store.

Where can i find a CFL with a 5100k rating or higher? I can't seem to find anything about a 2700k rating bulb.

Any thoughts?

thanks

HD in Edm have the higher colour temp spiral CF, just not the ones with the reflector (but can get the clip type lamp). Last time I checked with Litemor they weren't stocking the ones with the internal reflector but could bring in with no minimun.

I ended up getting my from some lighting rep. Was weird, met the guy in a parking lot as was selling out of his car for cash only.

I would try a Hydroponics store. That is where I have seen them locally.

Mine are Sylvania and I got them at Home Hardware. You have to read the back of the package to find the Kelvin. I think they are called "warm" or "soft" light, and say 6500K on the back of the package if I remember correctly. HTH.
