Steve,

The bulbs I used were sold through graphic-arts suppliers. I haven't been
able to find them by Googling yet. Maybe they're not made anymore. I'm
pretty sure the Gro brand of grow lights is still around, though. I think
I've even seen them at Walmart. Fish and aquarium stores have full-spectrum
bulbs, too.

73,

Todd
