42" Lighting Tubes

I'm struggling to find anywhere that stocks 42" tubes. Can anybody suggest a reliable supplier?

hi midlands Midland Waterlife Ltd has 42" tubes they are on ebay for £15.95


INTERPET TRIPLUS TRITON FLUORESCENT LIGHT TUBE 42"

I'd personally avoid the newer Interpet tubes, as they have internal reflectors that aren't appropriate for the Juwel ballasts.

These are like the Triplus you had -

And these are nice daylights -

Good luck!

These aren't specifically for fish tanks then? And they can be used no problems?

 

[George Farmer]

Yep. They work just fine mate.

Pity AE doesn't stock the 42" Ultra Sun. They're awesome. You could try e-mailing them.

What the zoo med ultra sun one's? Yeah they only seem to do 900mm one's. Might drop him a line.

 

[George Farmer]

Yeah, Zoo Med. Drop Aqua Essentials a line, they're very helpful.

Is this http/www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs-Tub...0-Cool-White-GE essentially the same light as this http/www.lightbulbs-direct.com/variant_detail.asp?var=3730 ? Just want to order from the same place if possible.

 

[George Farmer]

Yep.
