![]() The fixture is fine but you can not use a regular bulb
replace it with a plant bulb usually around 6700 k the ph is a little high, not too bad. |

![]() I had very good results with the clamp on shop lights too. 6500l grow bulbs. They're pretty big and look blueish. The t8s are hard to find in 48". I have a guy i order bulbs from ill see if he has them

![]() t8 and t12 ARE PRETTY MUCH INTERCHANGABLE if they are the same watts and fit in the fixture
t12 being bigger at 1 1/2" and t8 being 1" also there are rapid start and instant start you can not switch those just read the ballast |
