Most HD and Lowes only sell the 2700K. There is a place on 16th called Just Bulbs. They MAY have it. I haven't checked yet but they have a lot bulbs.

If you absolutely need something quick (as I usually do, you can buy the 6500K compact fluotescents at Target, KMart or Home Depot (they will be called Daylight bulbs and look similar to this http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm.../602-9814964-5245433?ie=UTF8&asin=B000GUHHPU). Make sure you read the package as they say they are 6500K on the front. I think the 23 watt is the 6500K but it will say on the package. You can buy a reflector at Home Depot (Looks like this http://www.eastbayvivarium.com/supplies/supplypics/esudomereflector.jpg)

I would just order online. I orded them and they came pretty quickly.

I know it stinks. I bought a few so I didn't feel as bad. I have searched many of Home Depots and Lowes and they all have the 2700K and maybe a little higher K but not what you are looking for.

i picked up the agro-lite from phillips. Still haven't used it so i can't say how the growth is but it should be enough.

HD and lowes has a bad selection of bulbs with built in reflectors for 5100k+.

the spiral daylight 6100k bulbs are nice but you have to buy the metal painters reflector for them.
