    Hello Friends,

    I was wondering if size matters when it comes to compact florescent bulbs?

    I have 2 4 pin 65 watt bulbs in my new (used, but given to me) fixture.

    I notice some websites have 4 pin (straight) 22" bulbs and some have 4 pin (straight) 21" bulbs.

    My fixture is a 480 watt Odyssea with 2 175 watt bulbs as well.

    Thank you!

    LoveMyReef

    No, the size is a manufacturer thing. Just make sure you get the same pin configuration straight or box.

    Its the motion of the ocean not the size of the wave.
