Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 health food stores often carry the full spectrum bulbs. Call a few. Flourescent types are a little harder to find, but asking around should locate them. Corny On Tue, 9 Jan 2001 13:26:01 -0600 " Price " <jhprice@...> writes: > I have considered these at times.

You can purchase " full spectrum " fluorescent bulbs and regular ones also. I have full spectrum in the office, and kitchen and bathroom at home.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 I have considered these at times. Can you name a good source for the bulbs? jp You can purchase " full spectrum " fluorescent bulbs and regular ones also. I have full spectrum in the office, and kitchen and bathroom at home.
