Replacement bulb for CPR Refugium Lights

[nwinverts]

Where can I buy replacement bulbs for my cpr refugium light fixture...
No one seems to sell these on line at all.
They are distributed by Finnex Technology International. They don't sell bulbs on line.

There are lots of these things out there. So, what are those of you who own these using as a replacement.

PL-36W-D71 Daylight 7100k
36W 16" 7100K daylight Linear(straight) pin configuration

Is there even a replacement available?
Is a substitute available?

I sent Finnex an e-mail, haven't heard back from them.

-Thanks

Other than online, you could try your local Petco or Petsmart.

I have had good results using a 50/50 bulb over my fuge.

Thanks Mike, this is what I wanted to know. What are you guys using as a substitute for the original?

The one that came with my used fuge works, but only appears to grow stew at this point.

any 36w straight pin should be able to be used as a replacement.

While I suspected that, I wanted to be sure before I forked out $30+shipping for a bulb that wouldn't work. I've got enough crap in my basement that I'll never use as it is. I was also having trouble even finding any 36W- straight pin PC bulbs.

I have a nanotuners 36w straight pin 10000k bulb new in box. I bought it for my BC29 hood when they had a buy 2, get 1 free promotion. I'll give it to you for the cost of shipping.

Hey Dave thanks for the kind offer... I just bought two of these from them before I saw this. Good deal on PC bulbs.

Yep, nanotuners has some great deals on pc bulbs.

Now, if I can find similar deals on T5 bulbs.
