jebo lamps - Aquarium Advice

Dr.Nate · 11-09-2005, 06:04 PM

Well, due to my recent hair algae issues on only one half of my tank, I think it's time to replace some bulbs. I have four 21" straight pin [acronym:a2cccdc995="Power compact fluorescent"]PC[/acronym:a2cccdc995]'s (2 actinic, 2 10K's) that are 65 W each.

Well, I went to hellolights and they're $22 a piece. That's not too bad, but I went to ebay and found some Jebo bulbs for $9 a piece!

So, my question is, are the Jebo bulbs any good? Does it matter what brand the bulbs are?

I believe the ones at hellolights were Coralifes, but I'm not positive.

I want to order them right away, so your responses will be appreciated.

I've got two jebo [acronym:a972be4e63="Power compact fluorescent"]pc[/acronym:a972be4e63] setups (2 X65 and 4 X 65) and have had no problems with the lights. The lights I am using now (also came with the unit) are approximately 3 months old and are operating fine.

I purchased my lighting off of e-bay as well. The seller I have used has so far been very trust worthy and customer friendly.
