Sump light.

[sgarrett1108]

I just got a 29 gal sump made by som. I am looking for a light for it and I know some people say that you can buy the cheap light at home depot/lowes that works really well. Just wonder if anyone had any insight/ recommendations for the light. Or is it just an ordinary plant light.

Anyone want to do a group order on these:

http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page/001/PROD/Reflectors/1P381951

It looks like shipping will be $7.90. I will call to double check if there is enough interest.

or maybe this is better:

This is from a thread I found:

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!

I'd be interested in one maybe two if we need more to get a discount or something. Let me know what you come up with.

I did find these locally at a hardware store but they were $25 a piece so this is a pretty good deal.

Im gonna be ordering one of those tommorow...exactly want i need..........

 

[sgarrett1108]

obviously I would order one or two.

I got my sump light at menards. It's a type of flood light. The same one Dan uses.

I am going to order these tomorrow. Anyone else want one? So far I am going to buy 2 for myself and 2 for Scott. Shipping should not be much more for too many more bulbs.

Yep...if they are here in time, but they should be if I get them ordered tomorrow.

Bulbs are ordered. It was a pretty easy process. They would not give them to me at $9.99 though! He said $11.59 but since I bought 8 he brought it down to $10.89. He also said that it would be 10-12 days, so that is pushing it for Paletta.

 

[waverz]

Man i cant afford that.......


Just kiddin' If they cant be here for Mike P ill get em some other time, no biggie......

 

[Bullet]

I got the bulbs the other day. With tax and all they come to 11.50 each. Not too bad! They are nice bulbs. Let me know when you want to get them Jeremy.

 

[waverz]

Sweet, uhm i dont need them anytime too soon unless you are hurting for the $23. One of these next weekends will work for me...Ill let ya know. Thanks for ordering them for me. Plus itll give me an excure to stop into SOM.

You guys are talking of this light and I just have my old 18 watt 50/50 from my old 10 gal tank since that is the size of my sump, is that enough light for it to keep it healthy or should I change?
TIA
