Pool light bulb any different than regular light bulb?
I have a Sta-Rite Sunlite pool light in my pool. It's one of the newer versions with a 250W 120V halogen bulb inside the fixture, mini-can base and T-4 shape. The replacement bulb is $25 from a pool supply store, but I see the same size (250W 120V T-4 mini-can) bulbs advertised from other online sellers (even on Ebay) for as little as $7. Is there anything special about the bulb sold by the pool supply stores, or is it the same bulb as I can get for $7? The bulb I took out of it was the one the fixture came with and it says "0250CL/MC", "130V", "GE", and "KOREA" stamped into the metal base. Thanks, Jonathan |
