    Hi fellows, may I know where I can buy 2-foot T5HO fl tubes by Philips/Osram from? Currently the only source I know requires > $100 per purchase for delivery & the collection-by-cash location is much too far for me.

    Anybody knows any stores that I can actually buy them (Philips or Osram tubes) from?

    Hi Shadow, but just curious, are these tubes "speciality" tubes? How come I do not see them (these 2 brands) being commonly found in shops in the heartlands (at least, in the West area of Singapore)? Or are HO tubes generally rare?

    2nd qn: any opinions on the "URI T5HO Aquasun" for planted, freshwater tanks? Is the 10k colour temperature an issue to contend with? It's also NOT a full-spectrum tube right? i.e. tri-band phosphor.

    NA confirm have OSRAM T5HO.
    Phillips I have no clue where to buy HO. Only the HE variant (lower wattage) I see in ntuc.

    Guess I'll just use my ol' Osram tubes. Even NA is quite far for me.
