  1. anybody have any cool ideas for a diy light fixture involving 9 300w equiv cfls???? i got one let me know what u think!!! use it for a5feet long 3 feet deep and 6 foot tall room in soil. og kush.
     
  2. no one cares about equivalent ratings.... need to know actual wattage being used

    take pictures of your build and post pics.. host them here on GC
     
  3. how do you figure out actual wattage being used? i used a 24by42by20 board with 9 300 watt cfl and thats what im using to grow my og kush.
     
  4. the package the lights came in will give you actual wattage and lumens
     
  5. the 300w i keep seein people post are the 68w 2700k
     
  6. True. But those that are in the know already figure in order to inform noobs, in my experience.

    as posted above, i mentioned the 68w, that is TCP brand, and i just found another called Bright Effects that is 65w/300=......with 9 of the 68w would be 612w or 585 with the 65w'ers, also, 6ft high will be far too high for thse lights, wasnt sure if that was where you were putting em or just the height of the room, but they run surprisingly cool compared to the smaller lower wattaged cfl''
