  1. does anyone know how big/bright cfl's come in? the biggest i've seen were 150w equiv, and i think those were 2200 lumens and those were at home depot. just looking for the biggest & brightest cfl available.
     
  2. They make ones that are up to 200 watts i believe. they are like 17k lumens or something. They are expensive though ($90-$100) for just the bulb. The highest at home depot are 42w (150 equiv). 125w cfl's are also easy to find on like ebay and stuff, but they are pretty expensive also ($60+) just for the bulb.
     
  3. I baught a CFL at Canadian tire for 9 dollers and it is 1700Lumans. Im looking for something higher.
     
  4. Probably the best place to find high wattage CFLs is online. Most hardware and nursery type stores have smaller versions, but don't carry the higher power ones. Be prepared to be shocked though, some of these giants can be pretty pricey.
     
  5. yea but you can buy a 400w hps for around $120,or get a 90w ufo for about $220 with probly better results.ive also seen 200w cfl's somwhere,but couldnt find a link,but I think they were about $100 a piece for just the bulb,ill keep looking and post it if i find it.
     
  6. I found some 300w cfls with 3,900 lumens at HD. They're like $18 bucks a piece, Im just going to buy one a week until I've replaced them all.
