Typically lights are quantified in watts, but is this really an accurate measure? Watts only refers to the amount of power used, not amount of light given. For example an 18W compact fluro will give about the same amount of light as a 60W incandescent.

A `freind' has a 2.5 metre by 2.5 metre mesh system with 3 plants covering the entire mesh system...current yield is 3 pounds 5 ounces with 2800 watts of light and superbud....If the light was increased would there be a noticable yield difference. All the lights are above the plants.

Hey i'm gonna start growing for the first time soon and one of my concerns is light... Is HPS neccisary, or will flouros do the trick? what wattage or voltage should the flouros or HPS lights be? what is the difference between compact and non-compact flouros? i have space limitation.... QUITE a samll place, like a section of a wardrobe, so what would be less dangerous? are all hps lights pricy, or does anyone know where i can get a relatively cheap one in sydney(and if possible a few other growing supplies)? sorry i don't know anywhere but i moved here about a year ago and i only just started the whole growing thing... thanks, crzc
