Are 32W T5 lights on their way out???

[tzylak]

I am failing to find 32W T-5 daylight or actinic light bulbs, the ones with 4-pin square pattern at one end. Have these been discontinued?? I purchased some a year ago and today I see none to be found!
Help!

T5 or do you mean power compact?

I like the low stock alert that pops up. CFL's should of died out years ago, they never had a great seal and lost gas fairly quickly. And although I grew SPS with them, changing them every 8 months sucked.

32w T5s were never "in". T5s have come in 24w, 39w, 54w and 80w for our purposes. They are technically T5 High Output.

What you describe is a power compact bulb.

Apparently these lights were on the way our for several years now. Now I know.
I ordered 4 of them, and will get additional 2 for free!
Thanks for the link!!
