Hi Babel,
These bulbs are normally found in upright lights for
desks, end tables, and floor lamps. None of which would
adapt easily to aquarium uses. However, if you also look
in various catelogs, such as www.grainger.com, and other
similiar companies, you will find the sockets, necessary
ballasts, etc for a DIY project.

Babel, Home depot sells the Lights of America fixtures that those bulbs go in..They are a outdoor light, and are not that expensive. I have one over my refugium and it works great. Ill see if I can find the part number and link to it later tonight when I get off work.

Ill also respond to your PM about the lighting.
