WTB Actinic Compact Bulbs

[revhtree]

Hey you guys anybody got a couple 65w compact fluorescent bulbs for sale? I dont care if they are new or old, I just want blue!

I need them for an aqua light i got to put frags in for the frag swap. The bulbs are like 20-21"s or so.

Again I need at least 2 65w actinic bulbs.

Thanks.

Hey these are 23".

I have a question. Would a 55w work in place of a 65w? I found some of those on sale.

Thanks.

Yes they would. I have run smaller wattage bulbs on a bigger wattage ballast.

I have run 28w and 32w on a 40w ballast....

Sweet! I found some brandnew ones for $7.99 each.

yes it can be done but ... you shorten the life of the bulb running it like that.

Just because there is more wattage going through the bulb than supposed to be?
