Title: Looking for a bulb Post by: pinballdude on August 14, 2010, 10:29:40 am Sorry if this isn't in the right catagory.
I am looking for a 13 watt flourescent bulb # F13T8-D. Since this is such an odd size, I figure the local True Value won't have this. And the nearest Lowes is 30 miles away. Would they have such a bulb? Or do you think this is a special order item? This bulb is about 11 inches, NOT counting the pins. Thanks for your help.

I did not know it was common It is from a stylestar coke countertop soda dispenser. I juste assumed from the odd size that it would be hard to find. I can find the longer one. BTW when this went out, something was smoking. Do you think it was the transformer? The Bulb is in bad shape. terry Title: Re: Looking for a bulb Post by: MoonDawg on August 14, 2010, 12:53:50 pm Yes, the ballast burned out your bulb and it will surely burn out your new bulb immediatly. The ballast will cost the same as the bulb so you are money ahead to replace it at the same time.
