Hey Oedi! Question about the lamp you bought

[lizziegrace]

did you find any sites that just sold the bulbs and not the entire lamp?

:)

1. Yup

The site where I bought it.

2. Hey, I'm buying two full-spectrum lights this week

for my studio: ceiling mounted fixtures with full-spectrum bulbs to simulate natural daylight. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. I want a house full of 'em

Never saw interior light so white. B-)

[Heidi]

4. Good grief!

I just looked at your link and saw that the full-spectrum florescent tubes there are around $8 each. Mine are CHF 39.80 ($31.39 USD). :yoiks:

5. Somebody's not a smart shopper

:rofl:

6. Either that, or somebody lives in a country

where the folks who make those bulbs are paid a living wage.

7. Why can't you import 'em from Korea

like us capitalists? :shrug:

[Heidi]

10. I don't know anyone in Korea

who'd send me two bulbs. :shrug:

12. Hey, here's my favorite new smiley:

13. OMG!

Where did you find that smiley??

:rofl:

14. I must confess: I have absolutely no idea.

I found it months ago and it was sitting on my desktop, and I saw it this morning and finally uploaded it to my photobucket account. I thought it'd be a great to use in, oh-I-dunno, General Discussion, perhaps? :rofl:

Feel free to steal it from me. :hi:

8. It depends on where you buy them from.

I find that they're way cheaper at hardware stores than at pet shops or garden centers. Considering they start to lose their full effects after about six months, I learned to do my shopping for the lizard's bulbs at the hardware store.

9. The full-spectrum studio lights aren't sold in the DIY stores here.

Believe me, I've looked. The next option is to buy these tubes in the custom lighting store, and I haven't even asked there because I priced some gallery lights there and was blown away by the prices. :scared: So I'm just ordering my full-spectrum lights from the art supplies place when I get all of my painting stuff. Sometimes, it's just easier to pay the middle price than to go looking all over hell's half-acre for the cheapest bulb supplier. :shrug:

15. Thanks

(I couldn't remember the site where you bought it. ;) )
