    It would work ok. Its only 65 watts, 4500lumens.


    Wrong. I would actually stay away from this seller. LightsOFAmerica said the same bullshit with their cfls saying its "brightness lumens." As far as I know for our purposes, that means nothing.


    So it puts out 4,550 lumens. Its not bad, but it wouldn't be all you need.

    Consider one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/2ft-4-BULB-BLUE...ryZ42225QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    These might be slightly better: http://cgi.ebay.com/T5-FLUORESCENT-...ryZ42225QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    I'm considering the second option, it cost $20 for 2 replacement bulbs. The big grow CFL's are reallllyyy expensive when you need a replacement - the T5 tubes look like a better route in the long run.

    Also KrazytOka, you dont have a 240w grow goin - you got a 60 watt grow :p

    How did u buy 12 light bulbs for $6.57? That is almost how much one of my 26 watt bulbs cost.
