How can I find a "40 watt" "rapid start""grow lamp"?

Check your local Home Depot.  40 watt is the 4' bulb with the plant/aquarium label.  (appx $7).  get an inexpensive 4' single bulb fixture with cord and pull chain on/off (appx $8).  If you want rapid start, i believe you're just wanting something that doesn't take a long time to come on.  Just ask if is has a magnetic ballast or a rapid start ballast.  For a few dollars more get an electronic ballast and drop down to a 32 watt T8 bulb, which will cost a little more initally, but it will last longer, reduce energy costs and turn on and off like an incandescent bulb.  One warning though, don't use these around reptiles.  The frequency that these ballasts and bulbs operate at creates a strobe effect to reptiles and will drive them insane.  Consult a pet store if you're looking for something to use around reptiles.

You will find one on e-bay

Go to either Lowes or the home depot web pages.You should find something there.

get some batteries, get some wires, and a very small lightbulb and a socket. So it should look like this:\nBattery(+) ... wire ... paperclip ... lightbulb ... wire ... (-)Battery

If you live in AZ (possibly other states), The Magnifying Store. If not, try ebay.

ebay or overstock and just look it up on the web

Check Home Depot and Lowe's. They will at least point you in the right direction, won't they?

Try and contact the manufacturer. Here's their website.\nhttp://www.thepenninegroup.co.uk/\nThey have a lot of info on their site.\nGood Luck and Happy Camping!!!!

well the best conditions would be lots of light if growing indoors you should consult a hydroponics store if thats not an option go to an idustrial supply store and purchace a metal hailied ballast and bulb and consult an electrician to do the wireing second you need good soil with a moderate ph around 6 and you will need an exhaust fan it keep the humidity at a decent level now for budding its best to keep the humidity verry verry low this reduces mold and helps prevent outher unwanted ailments from occouring and you want to keep it decently warm in there around 30 degrees celcius and the heat and low humidity create higher crystal counts giving higher quality bud

Apparently it's a 12 watt bulb, sold as a "zero watt bulb" (ref.). Go figure.

Try Firebox.com...so many things on there to choose from and they have some things that you wouldn't find in the shops.

go to home depot or rona!

use voltage dividers with a transistorized switch.  this method lights  a number of lights matching the input voltage in this case, all the way up the tree to it, rather than just one, so note that.  (7V in gives 7 lamps on).\n\nthe first transistor comes on if the base reaches .7V (2N2222 or so will work).  the next transistor is attached to the base of the first transistor through a voltage divider, the third ....  From the collector stick in a 1V Zener for regulation (make sure you get one that withstands 12v in), and the lights then go from there straight to ground (include a resistor here to limit current, try 15 ohms to start, experiment!).\n\ndecide how many lights you want, divide your final voltage by that number, and that is the voltage per step (here, 1V).  the voltage divider then comes from the voltage per step versus the transistor base ON voltage, across a good sized resistor (say 470 ohms or 1k, whatever you want (watch the current and the power drain here).  in your case, if you use a 470 load resistor on the voltage divider, then the second leg of the divider is (470 / (1V/1V-.7V)) = 141 is about a 130 (less is more on the base!).\n\nrecap:\n\nso the voltage divider goes from the input into the 130, into both the base and the 470, the 470 goes to ground.  the emitter can tie to the input voltage, the collector goes to a 1V Zener, to a 1V lamp, a small resistor, and ground.\n\nthe other stages stack right onto this.  the input still goes to the 130, then to the base and the 470, the 470 ties to the base of the previous stage.  the emitter again goes to the input voltage, and the collector goes to a 1V Zener, a 1V lamp, and a small resistor to ground.  sorry, i can't attach a picture here.
