A great refugium lightbulb, IMHO!

<b>I assume the PAR2 and PAR36 indicate count. 2 per package or 36 per box.</b>

Paul, that is intensity, not packaging. Spectrum is what you want to find out, and they should have it.
 
Wow, that must have been automated, because there is not way my post hit at the exact same time the thread was split by Greg. ;)
 
I thought a lamp manufacturer came on and told us it was the reflector type. I'd go back and find it but NAH! :)

Darn, what a stinking shame. Just got off the phone with the company. The bulb clocks in at 2650K. Not what I was hoping for

I did also find some better contact information

FEC = Feit Electric Company
Phone # 562-463-2852
Website = http://www.feit.com

So, folks, what does 2650K do for me?
 
Now Greg, this isn't a situation that will occur on a regular basis, is it? ;)

Paul, I used the 2700K bulb for about six months, and had decent results. Later I switched to the 5100K and had better results. I did a test last December to compare the two bulbs side by side and the 5100K did the better job with Cheatomorpha growth over 14 days (and then 30 days).
 
Thanks for the response. I am sure these bulbs (2650K) will do fine for me for now, since I am just setting up my aquarium and sump/refugium.

After I wear these 2 out in 8-10 months or so, then I'll switch over to the 5100K. Or maybe sooner if I get the itch. :)

Not for most people:

{ IF user = posts_too_darn_many_times_in_same_thread
THEN split.thread
}
 
I knew it. I have to wonder exactly how many scripts or hacks contain my username here on RC. Is it over 500 yet? ;)
 
Double Post, so I will use it for something else

For the Current Bulb Check out Melev's Site (not that everyone hasn't already been there for something )

here it is again, I ordered mine several weeks ago, the correct bulb for 10 bucks and free shipping.


IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW HOW TO ORDER THE TCP 19/85W BULB FOR 9.99 EASILY THEN LISTEN UP!!

ok,

step 1: Call the home depot supply number 1-800-431-3000

step 2: Ask for the special order department, the bulb can only be special ordered.

step 3: the part # for the bulb is 99570, this is for the 19w 5100k par 38 TCP bulb, I assume the 16w is also available, but you will have to ask them to look up its part number

I had to create a special order account, it was free and fast to set up, also the bulb is only special order so it can't be ordered online through the HD supply catalog. Shipping was free and it should take 6 to 10 days.

This is the cheapest place I have found to order the correct 5100k bulb!
