Looking for the green lights for fishing. I need a bulb for my clamp light and the ones I keep getting aren’t that bright green like I see on other docks. Even the ones I’ve got on Amazon aren’t the right ones. So where can I get them?

In my experience a bright white light attracts more bait fish than a green light. I never have understood the popularity of green iights, because I don't think they are as effective. I have run a white light on one side of my boat, and a green light on the other side. Hands down the white light attracted more bait fish. I realize that is not what you asked, but if attracting fish is your goal you may be better off with a bright white light. Not yellow like high pressure sodium. Hologen White or LED White.

Retirement best job ever.

Depends on where you fish, fresh or salt water.
Salt water fish are not bug eaters, they eat meat.

Green lights are superior fish attractors.

Salt water fish are not bug eaters, they eat meat. Bugs are meat. You just don't get as big of bite when you eat a grasshopper instead of a beef steak.

I realize that is not what you asked, but if attracting fish is your goal you may be better off with a bright white light. Not yellow like high pressure sodium. Hologen White or LED White. I have had the opposite experience. not being argumentative as the sample of just a few people is very small. White lights indeed attract bugs which will attract small fish. Green lights simulate a plankton bloom. If you look closely around a green light like the one we have on our boat slip there will be a soup of so many tiny little swimming things they are far beyond counting or even estimating. These things are what shad eat. We get huge schools of threadfin that swim in circles around the light. Of course there are crappie, sandies, bass and sometimes cats swimming into them eating. Hey whatever works for you.
