I just moved into a new place and buying a variety of different light fixtures, but I want them all to use daylight bulbs.

I can easily find daylight medium base CFL's, but in order to keep the entire home the same color, I want daylight candelabra (for a chandelier) bulbs, as well as daylight halogens (for a track light and vanity lights).

Does anyone know where to get these types of bulbs in the GTA? Or shipped from somewhere else in canada? Do daylight halogens even exist?

I've looked at CT and HD, neither has much selection for daylight bulbs.

Wal-Mart has some daylight CFL halogens (Par20) about 5000K, Rona has CFL halogens (GU24) 5000K, sometimes though it is hit and miss because CFL's are usually larger and have a bigger base and they don't fit into the recessed fixture

I thought CFL was Compact Florescent Lights. I also thought Halogen was another type of light. I am a bit confused by your statements. Could you please provide a link to CFL Halogen?

Sorry about that, What I should have said is that in the past PAR20 & GU24 were only made for Halogen. However they now make CFL versions of these bulbs, which are now available in daylight 5000K
