Regular Member mkinga Posted January 19, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted January 19, 2004 If you are talking about a strip light that you put on the top of the tank, they are quite expensive here in canada (compared to a package thing). Like for example, at my local pet store, I can buy a 33 gallon tank, with top and light for $100 dollars. For just the strip light, it costs like 65 dollars. So for relative prices, I guess its like 2 pounds per canadian dollar? so it should be like 30 dollars? The bulb itself here is like 14 dollars, so like 7 pounds? I would try to get a 18,000K color bulb, it looks very nice, and my plants grow like crazy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yima Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I'm really frustrated with the price of lights in Canada too. I think I'll try to rig something up with a plain ballast and try to put a proper bulb in it. Has anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
