    I have two fairly new plants under 2 fish tank lights. Both lights have Natural Daylight lights in them. Is this ok?

    heres the ones i been reasearhing into this weekend all CFL's in ranging wattage
    depending in what ur looking for and how good you want ur dope.

    I will be using these not as my main grow light but bulk to out the lower section that get shaded by the main canopy

    MORE WATTAGE = MORE DOPE

    26w cfl spiral

    60w cfl (order'd 4 of these)
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=190142679919&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009

    100w version same bulb as above
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100w-Low-Ener...ryZ20706QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    All these are BC CAP ( UK standard ) CFL's no idea where you are.

    fittings for BC CAP

    you can go higher wattage but the cost will increase also some may take diffrent fittings.

    is that 60w that the light uses or is it 60w equivialant?
