I went to a 99 cent store and bought some cfls. They were two for .9999$ Made by sunrise lighting 1678 lumens 23 watts, a standard spiral CFL. For 50 cents its a super deal. So if your a newb and need some cheap cfls, make sure you check your local 99 cent store. From the package I can tell its at least 2 years old, but that's not to bad.
yeah i'm doubting that they are daylight bulbs for that price at above 5000k which are what you want for veg. However I could be wrong? Gonna go to the store and check em out
i picked up one from the 99er the other day. i had a 23w but they had 40w 2700k for the same price so i picked up a 40w. now i got 2 68w and 1 40w. 99er! for the win
Just finished a small grow with some of the 150w ones they work pretty dam good for a buck a pop 40w = 150w rated / 2600L spiral cfls warm white 2700k 23w = 100w / 1200L Warm white 2700k / In a relector bulb/shade like a spot light Back to not being able to attach the same pic more than once Have a pic of the packaging posted at~ http://forum.grasscity.com/lighting/942886-enough-light.html {2nd post down}
Make sure you dont believe their inflated claims Use only real watts. They come in all temps. More coming. CFLs are cumbersome. Every light needs a connection to a grid.
So did I. Hes right Nows the time for CFLs to flood the market to the avaricious economy-minded americaan shopping public from the Chinese factories and they are cheap as shit. All sizes, all prices in my nabe and they deliver on their promise I did a grow on them BUY AMERICUN
