phoenix44 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 at countdown in palmy. I presume its a nationwide thing. The Warm white 24W bulbs are only $4 down from $8 or $9. 24W in this energy saver = 125W of normal bulb light. They are 6500K I am lead to believe and are good for plant growth. On another note, I noticed that they write 24w with the "w" in small letters which is wrong. It should be 24W in capitals. :lol: :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
