<p>I thought the standard IS the 4.5"?<br/>The 3" being an appliance bulb</p>
<p>It is too tall</p>
<p>The globe will wobble on top of the bulb</p>
<p>On a grande,its a different story</p>

<p>Well, the black light uses a very very dark blue coating to absorb most of the lower frequencies and allow only the UV to go out. The absorption of all that light is probably going to make the bulb run hotter than a 40w standard. </p>
<p>I figure some of the heat transfer from the bulb has to be from the light being absorbed by the bottle/liquid/goo. Lighter-colored goos may benefit from a blacklight, as more of the light is converted to heat by the bulb. Darker goo might not see a whole…</p>

<p>It's hard to say, because the one I had was a brand unto itself. There's no telling what kind of filament it had in it. But these home depot bulbs are all by the same company...so it makes sense that they would all be the same, save for the coating on the bulb.</p>
<p>Sorry if this was kinda a dumb question, but I'd rather ask than risk shattering a globe or something.</p>

<p>I don't see why the different colored bulbs wouldn't work. The bulbs should have the same type of filament, so the same type of heat should be put off. It should give you different looks, lighting wise, when turned on. I've never tried different colored bulbs, so I'm kinda guessing here. </p>
