PC Bulb Size

CroW · 11-14-2005, 07:45 AM

I bought a Jebo Odyssea PC 4x65W fixture a few months back and I need to upgrade my bulbs. Currently I have 2x12000K 65W and 2xActinic 65W bulbs, since this is for a Freshwater tank, these lights aren't what they need to be.
I'm looking at 4x6700/10000 65W bulbs..
Now, finally, my question I see both 21" and 22" straight pin lights listed everywhere and I'm not sure what I need to measure to make sure I get the right size bulbs for my fixture.. Does the 21" spec include the platistic plug on the bulb? just the glass part? or glass, plastic and pins?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any real documentation about the Jebo lights, so I'm at a loss. If anyone has a link for Jebo info, please post it..

Thanks,

--CroW

Either will work. I have the same fixture. The difference in bulb lenght is usually attributed to wattage (55 vs. 65) They are, for all intent and purpose) the same bulb.

Awesome, the 22"s are only $19 apiece compared to $27 for the 21"s.

A more common size. Like comparing the price of a 10 gallon tank vs a 5 gallon tank.
