GE Plant & Aquarium

19 years ago

Hi,

I know that the Sylvania Glo-Lux is a good florecent tube but I have a hard time findning them. However the GE Plant & Aquarium bulb are easy to find. How do these compare? I can't seem to find much detailed specification information about these bulbs. (Colour spectrum, etc)

Are they similar to the standard gro-lux or are they like the Gro-lux wide spectrum which I do not want?

Anyone had much expenrience with them?

Its definitely a wide spectrum bulb. GE make a bulb called Gro-n-Sho which is similar to the original Gro-Lux.

Thanks for the info. I haven't seen any Gro n Sho T12s locally yet which is unfortunate.
