Bulb light help
Ok my bulb has two different watt ratings on it one says 42 Watt & the other says 150. I am asking this because I woul like to know if I need to make a trip and buy another bulb. This bulb is very large and was the largest rated CFL at my local Walmart.

Well the 42 watts is the actual watts being used. The 150 is the equivilent of watts that the light generates. You need to go by the actual watts. Better yet go by the lumens it puts out. That size is probablt 2700. Not enough for 1 plant. They say ideally you need 7000 lumens per plant I believe.

Yeah the good old marketing watt equivalent. It's the incandescent equivalent like others have mentioned.
