Whats the highest powered cfl light bulbs you can get?? Just seen these on ebay, are they ideal? - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hydroponics-12...ayphotohosting

those are perfect

IMgreen · #3 (**permalink**) 10-22-2007, 10:20 PM

that has a mogul base and wont fit into a regular light bulb thingy...

You can get 150 watt equivalent CFL's but 100's are way more common

(they are actually 24 watt)

My apologies, I didn't realize that you may be in the UK and maybe you have a fixture already that this bulb will fit in already, I dunno what type of base a lamp uses in the UK...

It works good but because ive stretched mine so tall i need 2 side cfls which im buyin tomorrow.

oh rite, so two of them would be perfect. Why would i need a ballast? i thought they were used with a different type of bulbs?

do the bulbs screw into the ballast?

Yes they do fit into the ballast as easy as saying abc 123

Ive seen ppl with 200w. CFLs. but their over $100 US.At that point ide go with an HID for BIG bud flowering,but ppl have shown nice results with as little as 64W.CFLs throughout.

That is indeed a great price, even converting to USD!

I might have to consider getting myself one and using one of them travel converters so it would work in the US...

I just bought a 125w cfl from my local grow store. I had a good reflector already for my other cfl (only 42w). It works great and my plant is doing a lot better since i increased to this big guy. only $50!

Hello all,
New here and came upon this thread. I just purchased a dual spectrum bulb with reflector lamp. My question is, where do I get a red spectrum cfl, like the one you have, for cheap? If I should purchase a replacement bulb from the place where I got the reflector lamp, the bulb itself will cost me about $70. Is that a good price for one red spectrum bulb? I live in the USA. I have to admit, the UK has some really good deals but don't ship to the USA

you can try at 1000bulbs.com
or check around on the states ebay... lot of ebay grow op stores, you can usually pick up a 400w HPS with ballast for about 140 taxes in
