Bought two of these (last two left) from walmart. Neither of them working. wondering if they have no built in ballast's? nothing on the package says read the insert which of course is missing. thanks guys

Probably just broken, and my WalMart doens't sell those! WTF, tell them the WE need some 42w 6500k as well! Oh, but the Do It Center AND the local Grocery store sell Spiral 42w 6500k. They work just fine.

Yeah, I had a fucking tough time finding 42w 6500k bulbs. 2700k are everywhere. Luckily, i have 3 Targets, 2 WalMarts, 2 home depots, a Lowes, 2 Do It Center's, an OSH, and a Harbour Freight Tools within 20-30 minutes away. And out of all of those, a fucking grocery store ended up having them in the 3' wide hardware section!!!

Haha the only two twist 65'S I have I found at some random store they only had two haha. I'm aslo using two 40watt t12s so I hope thats enough of that temp. Thinking about trying plant and aquarium t12s they have em at walmart for 6 bucks each. Not sure if I wanna spend much more on cfls tho, plan on getting a Led for next time.

I've been curious about LED's, but they're expensive as shit. Some people swear by them, and other say they're crap. I'm on the fence, if you find a good deal let me know. Like under 100 bucks...lol
