Score one for the Doc...

 

[latazyo]

the exact one??

Im there at least 7 times/week

I'll pick one up next time

You can get a more powerful one not too. They have the little curl spiral fluor. bulbs in a 30w=120w version and just put it in a clip on reflector lamp for about 5 bucks. I think they may even have the next larger one that =150w. If you want to go with a LOA fixture they have 65w=500watt ones. Those replacement bulbs are about 14 bucks but they can blast some lighting.

when you guys clip on lamps under your stand, do you do anything to waterproof them?

 

[TWINPEAKS]

I safety tie the lamp up so it can't accidentally fall into tha water.A plastic tie strap work great.

 

[latazyo]

I meant more for protection against leaking water from above


anyways, I bought a clamp light and the bulb

so as far as this group buy is concerned...its off for me

I don't think HD has the 5100K flood bulbs. Check that color temp. Melev did experiments with the more readily available bulbs, and the 5100K bulb was dramatically better.

 

[latazyo]

the bulb HD has that I also just bought is 5500k

 

[frenchie]

what about those little spiral power compact bulbs at lowes there like 35 watts but replace 100 watt bulbs they go up to 6500k or higher i think would those do good on a clip light or home made fixture.

 

[DrBDC]

I haven't shopped for them at Lowe's but about a year ago they didn't carry the higher spectrum ones. Home depot changed the brand they carry from the Commercial electric brand to the N:vision brand. The commecial electric ones you could get in 6500K and the N:vision ones are 5500K. The N:vision brand comes in higher wattages though.
