canadiandreaming Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Guys, Can someone please explain the whole CFL thing with the wattage. So for instance if I want a 130W CFL, am I shopping for 130W? or am I shopping for something that is much lower and equivalent to 130W?.. its pretty confusing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Mouse Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 dont bother with the big wattage cfls use more cfls of a lower wattage. more spread, more coverage, lower cost at outset, easier to source, the reasons are endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy420 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 When it comes to CFL imo this is one of the better ones, it 80w but have seen them out the 130w on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PHILIPS-HIGH-OUTPUT-COMPACT-FLUORESCENT-E40-CFL-80W-AT-6500K-5300-LUMENS-/111392792649?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item19ef872049 If google 80w cfl there is an online store where u can pick one up for $90 i think it is with a shade.
