I use screw in type power compact from Home Depot. 6.99! Grow Macro like crazy. I think if you are going to get a bulb I think you want something in the 6,500K range.

This bulb works really good, lasts long and uses little energy. Look at the bulbs at the bottom of the page, they are available at home depot. |

I use pretty much the same bulb as Melev. Looks the same, but is made by a different Manufacturer.
