Hi all, Could anybody with some lighting know how check out this page and tell me if it would be any good for vegging my ladies. At present im using a standard 5' fluorescent, but its a bit big and my babies dont seem to be growing as fast as some iv seen on here, thanks in advance

eBay.ie: 36 watt (=300watt) floodlight next working day delivery (item 300353645389 end time 13-Oct-09 16:35:18 BST)

Yes i know its a cfl but buying two cfl bulbs from your local hardware-store at halve the price and double the lumen strength because that's looks a little to expensive its a security light. Jamrock

With a reflector like that it will be capable of putting more lumens towards your plants then just a bare 36w CFL, but the question becomes what is the degrees Kelvin of the bulb?

If your vegging then you want 5500K-6500K, if you're flowering then you'd want 2700K-3000K.

As dustoxx420 points out, CFL bulbs can be had relatively cheap, maybe just more bulbs are your answer. I'd look for a deal on a six pack of bulbs.

I think people should be educated to the fact marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say God is wrong? -Willie Nelson

I dont know what colour temp. or lumen output it has, but my dad has one the same with a sensor over the back door and its damn bright. I think its the reflector as you said. I would probably get a new bulb anyway at the correct colour temp

I dunno about those numbers.... 33watts 300watt equivalent seems like an absurd difference. I have a 68watt 2700k cfl from homedepot that is a 300watt equivalent. Your going to want an exact kelvin rating and not just soft white or daylight they can mean many different things.
