Light went out in the bathroom. It's a 48" 25W T12 GE fluorescent
bulb.

I can get one online, but I'd rather rush it and buy one in a brick and
mortar store. Problem is that they only have 32W and 40W. Does that
matter?

TIA,

What is the actual label printed on the bulb?
Is something like F48T12CW?

That's a utility shoplight! That's made for a building or warehouse, so
that people don't trip over stuff on the floor.

Like I said, it's an old house that I'm renting. Plumber says there's all
sorts of crazy mismatched sh*t in here.

Wouldn't you want a cool white in the bathroom?
A Cool white lasts almost twice as long as a shoplight. 2000 hrs. on a CW
vs. 1200 hrs. on a SL.
No wonder you don't get a close shave. :-)

Tell that to my wife; it's her BR actually. :-)

I couldn't really find a 48" 25W T12 online, so the guy at the light store
gave me a 48" T8 32W. Seems to work OK, though it flickers at a low rate
somewhat.

Cheers.
