Compact Fluorescent - Daylight - 105W Review
The Compact Fluorescent has a built-in ballast, uses little energy, and provides the full spectrum that plants require. New technological electronic ballasts provide for instant, flicker-free illumination compared to early designed magnetic ballasts. Compact Fluorescents last much longer than regular fluorescent tubes most fluorescent grow tubes on the market begin to diminish after only a couple of months. The heat generated is far less than any H.P.S. or M.H. light source - bulbs can be placed within inches of tender seedlings for maximum usable light without burning plants. Many growers who are growing medium to tall plants will hang these lights from the ceiling and position them within the plant canopy for intense supplemental side lighting to increase production. Compact Fluorescents can be used "as is" with a socket assembly and cord sold separately plugged directly into the wall, or they may be installed in most of the reflectors in our catalog. Think about the cost savings on the ballast alone, not to mention the electricity . . .A NOTE ON LUMEN OUTPUT: The lumen output on these bulbs are not stated on the box because the Canadian lumen exchange rate is so high. For example, Envirolite states that their 95W bulb produces 9,500 lumens but in reality its between 5,000-5,500. Their 125W is stated at 12,500 but in reality its only 6,500-7,000 lumens. The Compact Fluorescent bulbs we now carry have been privately tested and here are the results:150W = 9,500 - 10,000; Dimensions: 12.5 x 3.5 200W = 11,800 - 12,500Dimensions: 14.5 x 4.75For an inexpensive reflector for your Compact Fluorescent, check out the Bright Wing High Wattage Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture. The 105W, 150W and 200W Compact Fluorescent bulbs have been tested to fit the following reflectors: Econo Wing, Econo Cool, Large Unifier, Super Sun, Super Sun 2, Cool Sun, Daystar, Super Spectrum, Large Super Hori
