fote03 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I just picked up one of Currents 20" fixtures 2x 18w t5 and was wondering where i can buy replacement bulbs or better yet some better bulbs? Im thinking two 12K bulbs. Link to comment
herranton Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 http://www.nanotuners.com/index.php?cPath=...675bfnislfdtjo4 I'm pretty sure that VHO lamps will work in a HO fixture. If I'm wrong, someone else will say so. Link to comment

Im thinking two 12K bulbs. You can get current's own TrueLumen bulbs (they have 12k bulbs, 420 an 460) or you can go with the nanotuners uvl bulbs.. Those are a tad more expensive (not really an issue when you're only buying two) and those bulbs are 1/4in short. I also think some bulbs are out of stock for a very long time (eg 454s).

Deano Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ^^+1 The 454s have been out of stock for a while trying to get the bulb length issue cleared up. There 1st stock of bulbs they got came in 1/4" short. Now that they are out of 454's and if they order new ones they will be a 1/4 longer. This will caue a problem since you really need the same length of bulb in many light fixture. This is true with the fixture you have, I no because I have one myself with Nanotuners UVL's in it. You can adjust the bulb plugs to fit the shorter bulbs. Link to comment
fote03 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Any links to the Current bulbs? I dont really want to modify the fixture for the nanotuner bulbs unless i have to. Link to comment
