Have you seen the single Sunblaze/Sunblaster strips? They're great if you just need one or two lights...

The fixture sounds nice, but kind of pricey. What sort of CFLs does it take? Why two bulb holders but only one bulb? The two foot Lights of America T8 fixtures for around $18 with bulbs that Butch talked about in another thread might be a better deal if you shop around.

You can probably get a better deal on bulbs too. The power companies were giving instant rebates on select CFLs at the Costco's in California. I picked up a box of 4 twenty-two watt CFLs (light output equivalent to about 90 watt incandescent bulb) for $1.99 with rebate.

Nice cell pack, just what I need for my D. graomogolensis pups. Where'd you get them?

I know very little about hardware - lights and bulbs and such. I thought CFL stood for Canadian Football League!

The light was suggested in the topic from last year..
