Just for info, Nature Aquarium ran out of 10K PL lights. He has ordered them but not sure when they will arrive. Very good prices though - Aqualux 36W 10K - one for $20, two for $30!

Call first before you go down....62556051. Don't be like me...

All other materials can be bought at #03-05, Sim Lim Towers (not sure if this has been mentioned, did not read the previous postings..... ). Went down today, they were very helpful.

hi hi,

i saw those before too, they very at the bottom right?

they are very very cheap!!!

it won't make a difference whether it's use for PL or FL, most important is the rating is correct. the brand is actually quite good, maybe they just clearing stock. i never buy those 55watt e-ballast is because so far i have never use 55watt PL tube before. one thing, so not many (maybe there is not) peole use 55watt FL, if there is one, it should be around 5-6 feet long.

i never buy e-ballast from that shop before.
