well irishmc i,m new to this forum and its my first post so bear with me bro. I have been looking for them type of cfl for a long time i already have 2 600 watt hps kits but i wanted to do a stealth grow for a change. Any way before i start going on you should be able to get what your looking for in any (co-op superstore) there a lotus ecopal 35 watt = 175 watt equivalent daylight 6400k bayonet fit with built in fuse protection and excellent render. I already got 4 6400k and 4 2700k and i would of got more only some one else must of had the same idea and got there before me. any way bro i hope you fined the store up in the big smoke. good growing

Alright Bro,
Just to let you know i'm from limerick and if there in my co-op id say you should be able to get them. Now saying that it might not be a normal co-op because its called ( co-op superstore ) As you know yourself it is hard to find them 6400k clf's so it would be worth having a look for the store you wont be disappointed when you get um bro. O i forgot to
say they are 8 euro's each but i think there worth it. Any way bro ill let you go hope you find what your looking for.;)

Hey Dank,

See that site alright but they are the big screw in lights. Im looking for just the normal bayonet bulbs that you would use in your house.

Thanks for the tip though mate:thumbsup:

Cheers mate,

I think the 'soft white' is only 2500k. They are the ones i have at the moment.

6500k's are 'Daylight' bulbs.

Ihave somebody looking up the north this weekend so fingers crossed.

Thanks for keeping your eye open mate:thumbsup:

I always found your best bet is to look at electric supply stores. if your in waterford let me know theres a huge one in dungarvan. Espeicially easy to find in rural co-op electric stores as there bought regularly by farmers for banivs (wrong spelling!!)

i agree and disagree...electric supply stores has great selection but much higher price..shop in my street 80w 5600k 98e like wdf,100w 2700k 129.99.fcking rip off...and it was same in drogheda...im not going to argue that its the same in waterford cos i dont know but for me online is allways the best bet..

did you ever try an agri electric store? farmers are as cheap as chips and wont pay the high prices like the rest of us... maybe its changed now i havent grown since i was busted few years back. thats why i'm being ripped off at 400 an oz

Alright Lads

I didnt visit the forum in a while but i see ye are back talking about the cfl,s so i said id just say i agree whit bestbudboi. Thats were i got my cfl,s in a farmers Co-op superstore there 35 watt = 175 watt equivalent bayonet fit cfl,s in 6500k and 2700k and they were only 8 euros. I grow a few plants no prob with um and i still use the 6500k to start off my seeds and clones. The only thing is the 6500k gets sold out very fast so when you see um buy as many as you can.

275178

Couldnt find the boxes but here is a pic of a 2700k and 6500k.
