The new LOA 30W bulbs - where?

[Mihai]

Any idea where to find the new LOA 30W bulbs (=135 incandescent) bulbs?

The only thing I have going is this picture that bradl posted here:

He said that he got it at Walmart. It's not at my Walmart. Actually, it's not on the LOA website if you go look. If you google for it you'll not find it either (or I wasn't able to find it). Not at HelloLights either...

I'd really try to "upgrade" the lights on my 0.5 pico from what I have now (19W PC) to this 30W: the 19W barely sustains some acro and montipora, but they barely grow and are not colorful...

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

With this light I am sustaining mushrooms,zoanthids and xenia in my refugium.Mushroom growth has been good.Not sure about the zoas yet. Try walmart.com or google the part number in Illinois most walmarts have em.

My pico is way smaller than your fuge, so it will be able to sustain SPS. walmart.com doesn't have it :-(

2830S lights of america and
2830S fluorex

both return no results on google. It's almost incredible that I can't find on the Internet a product that exists (I don't believe that you made up the picture) and I want to buy. That's a first!

I have 3 backups and 2 walmarts, howmany do you want?

 

[Mihai]

That's a nice offer! How much is each? I'd like three of them. I'm still in shock that there is something that you cannot buy on the Internet.

Thanks!

If I remeber correctly theyre like 8.86 plus tax. Ill try and stop in there after work today and see how many they have in stock.

 

[Mihai]

Appreciated! Just to make sure: they're 6500K, right?

8.44 Plus Tax. They had 4 on the rack. They are in the flourecent lighting isle. Behind the lightbulb isle. 6500K Color Temperature Cool White

I can asure you they had none on our rack. I don't see any trips to Illinos in my future, so can I paypal you to send three of them bulbs my way? Your help is certainly appreciated.

I'm not sure why they call them "cool white" -> that's usually a 3000K bulb, but I think Fluorex are 6500K. It's incredible that a company the size of LOA manufactures a product and doesn't put any info on their website!

Thanks,
Mihai

[Mihai]

Can I trade you some zoanthids for them? .

I went to my local Wal-mart today and they had the 30watt,20watt and some others that were smaller all in the light bulb section. I too check the enternet with no luck but found them at the store. Hope this helps
