I'm no pro here, but the color temp and spectrum aren't necessarily tied
that closely. I use the GE Sunlight and Sylvania Sunstick bulbs, which are
great, and they're rated at 5000K.

If you can get somebody to order from Grainger for you - they don't sell to
individuals - they have a Rapid Start T8 from GE, the Chroma 50 (Sunlight
bulb). It's item 5V572. It's a 36", 30-watt bulb, 1.5" diameter. You
didn't mention if you have that or the 1", 25W need, or 4', 32W size.

Thanks for the info. The fixture I got is the 4', 32W size. Since
no one here knows me, I don't expect anyone to do that sort of thing
for me. I may get a different fixture (T12, 40, I think) that I know
I can get GE full spectrum bulbs for.
