Re: [GSAS-Member] CFL bulbs

Hey everyone:

I got a 175-watt pendant halide from the new Renton Blue Sierra for  
$50, no bulb....He has three or four other black halide pendants, but  
you have to ask Bruce about them as they don't have prices on them and  
are sitting in a heap on the floor.

Those compact florescent bulbs get cooked after awhile, and begin to  
fall apart, that is, if they are upside down over the tank.
