    I have a coralife cfl fixture that needs new bulbs. 65w straight pin. Not familiar with these kind of bulbs. Are the coralife bulbs good or should i get a different brand? Suggestions?

    Power compact fixtures in generak just arent good lights. I would suggest getting maybe a good t5fixture. But ciralife bulbs are fine.
