Flouresent lighting question

Croc_121 Oct 24, 2003 09:09 PM

Hi, I was just wondering if all flouresent lights give of UV or is it the ones only specially marked in pet stores and plant stores? the reason I ask is because I would like to use the new energy saver bulbs (which are the flouresent bulbs made to fit in a incodesent fixture), If these dont give of uv, does any one here think they will soon be invented? thanks in advanced for any info.
