    On that same note, I think those bulbs would do very well in my fuge. Do you or anyone on here have suggestions to a good ballast/fixture to put it in? Not looking to spend too much money on anything but I would like to put one of those bulbs to use. The bulb is a square pin dual 6500/10000 daylight 130W 48inches long.

    I agree, unfortunately I had to learn from experience with these that those lights are definitely good for algae growth...
