a little bit cheaper till you figure in the shipping cost. then its a lot more than the one with free shipping..

What free shipping?

FWIW: HD, Target, and other places are selling "daylight" bulbs which are more or less full spectrum. GE is marketing a daylight bulb now. TCP bulbs work, but something similar if not identical should be able to be picked up locally.

I would get a 26w bulb over the 19w, unless your fuge is small/shallow or you can hang the light <4" over the surface. I've measured the reflector bulbs (including the TCP 19w bulb) with a quantum meter, and the PAR falls off considerably with each inch of depth. The PAR readings in the corners of the fuge are pretty dismal.
