Has anyone seen straight pin 54 watt PC bulbs anywhere? I don't need actinic, and low kelvin (6,500) is okay as they're for my refugium.

Been a long time since I had to buy pc bulbs...last time I went looking for them, I had trouble finding them, especially in the lower kelvin ranges. I used to order mine from ahsupply. Don't know if you're in a rush, or if they're still around, but you should try them.

Looked over my post....I meant to say I had a hard time finding straight pin pc bulbs. The square configured ones were everywhere but straight pins were rare

Larry is that the correct wattage? I don't recall seeing 54w pc bulbs.
I have a spare 65w straight pin 65k bulb if that is what you need.
The bulb is used and i don't remember the age but it does work.
It fits a 2 or 4 foot fixture.
Also have a 65k/10k combo bulb with straight pin that works.

I'm not sure of the wattage, John. I was just working from memory.

I got two from Andy and bought a third at Aquarium Village. LOL, the one I bought is square pin, not straight. Looks like I'm going back to make an exchange.....
