CFL heat 65w vs 23w

Discussion in 'Lighting' started by AM68, Nov 30, 2012.

  1. So I have used both before for separate projects outside of growing. It's been years since I did a grow. Then I used a 400W HPS in a closet.

    Now I am in two small chambers. 2ft x 1.5ft x 3ft high. I have a veg chamber and a flower chamber.

    I am concerned about space and heat. I can save space by using SIX 23w bulbs saving maybe a couple of inches. But will SIX 23w bulbs create more heat than two 65W bulbs?

    Lumen difference is between 50-100, and wattage is within 10w of each other.

    Debating on which to go with. As I am having to place an order for either. Simply don't have a good 6500K veg bulb in my area! And it's cheaper to order from a bulb company than any of the hydro places.

    Any help is appreciated!!
