too cheap to be real?

  1. that seems way too good to be real
     
  2. That is a replacement bulb and doesnt have a built in ballast, you cant just screw it into a regular light socket.

    You can get the same thing at the home depot for about the same price.
     

  3. Those high wattage CFLs can put out a LOT of heat, it could easily be too much for a space as small as a pc case, even with good ventilation.
     
  4. well so far i have 1 26 watt and its pretty chilly in there as its in my basement. ill probly spread around like 4 26 watters 2 being 6500k and 2 being 2700k
     

  5. The larger CFL bulbs are usually less efficient, and produce more heat per watt of light. In a tiny space, you are probably better off with a few smaller bulbs.
     
  6. so how many watts should i do per bulb and how many bulbs, it seems like the 26 i have isnt giving off much heat
     

  7. I saw a post on here somewhere saying 42 had a good watt/lumen ratio and didn't give off too much heat to handle with a simple fan.
     
  8. yea i had one for my other grow and it didnt seem to hot but it randomly stopped working in like 2 or 3 days -___-
