Sylvania F32T8 8000k SkyWhite Fluorescent

For a "white" lamp, these have a great color...they're slightly more "blue" than a 6500k daylight fluorescent.
I show the lamps lit in this vid, plus do a comparison between them and CoolWhite/4100k as well as WarmWhite/3000k.
And ofcourse a startup on a electromagnetic 2-lamp F32T8 rapid-start ballast,

Thanks to YouTube/LightingGallery member BowlingMania14 for getting me these. Make sure to visit his channel http://www.youtube.com/user/BowlingMania14

I was lucky enough to find these bulbs carried (and often on sale) at Menards in my area (Central Indiana). I use them to grow succulents and have had great success with them.

Thanks for making the video, well done!

I'm glad there are people out there that appreciate lights as much as I do.

@PiscesCerebrate Thanks & welcome :)

Menards seems to be the place to get these (we don't have a Menards where I live, so I had to have these shipped to me LOL)

Other than testing I haven't really used the bulbs...but eventually they'll be used on my houseplants, or aquatic plants in my fishtank.

@Y0uTube235 Even here these 8000k are a bit hard to find, I can't get them in where i live so BowlingMania14 sent me some. I also have some standard Daylight 6500k, but they are GE & Philips - most stores here sell those.

F32T8 is indeed 48" just like F40T12 or F36T8

@XmasLightsGuy Our other laptop is a newer windows 7 so I'll have to try that LOL

It has many different fonts i like!

[XmasLightsGuy]

@BowlingMania14 It should work just fine! TrueTypeFonts are one thing that was standardized...you should even be able to take a font from the newest win-7 and use it in an older windows LOL

[BowlingMania14]

@XmasLightsGuy Interesting! I'd like to have that font, too :)

I use a windows vista computer when I edit my videos (using windows movie maker) so hopefully it'll work on it!

[XmasLightsGuy]

@BowlingMania14 Nope i didn't make it LOL...something I got years ago.

Its a Windows 3.11 font, but should work in any version of Windows (If u want i can try e-mailing it to you)

[BowlingMania14]

@XmasLightsGuy Yeah! I wondered about that LOL did you make it? It fits the theme perfectly :)

[XmasLightsGuy]

@BowlingMania14 LOL i like the way that credits part at the end turned out too...that lightbulb font was perfect!

@bamaslamma1003 :

The ballast is a MagneTek

If you have a 'Menards' store in your area, check there for the lamps
