18" Fluorescent Bulbs (source) - msecoolcal@... - 05-03-2007 02:07 Keith, Welcome to the "Oh my God can this price be right" club. I just replaced all the bulbs in my bird (ALL), now that will drop you to your knees. My guess is that they just don't sell that many so the price is up there in the ozone layer. By the way you should get "sunshine" not the cool light because it is way brighter and adds a clean look to the inside.

One thing that I did notice is that you have to have your batteries at a decent charge to power the new bulbs up. I don't think it is just a quirk with my bird.

I bought one at Walmart but it was around $6.00. A little steep?

The strip only need to be a couple inches wide. You can turn the bulb out real easily. I keep a piece just for that. Don 89 SP 36' Butler, PA Yep, same exact bulb. I ordered 24 today. And I'm gonna need most of them. I didn't realize how many were out until I started looking around. They sure are hard to get out of the fixture with my extra fat fingers!!!
