CFL's??

[Mickey696]

Anybody know where to get CFL's that are stronger then the 23w Osrams?????

Overseas there are much stronger models but I cant find anything here.

 

[Guest]

where you at? look in the yellow pages for a wholesale electric type place and ask them for something like this 85w daylight cfl.
good luck!

Also look at your local builders warehouse.

HOLY SHIT!!

What is that brand on that light? Can you give me a name and number where you bought it from??

 

[Guest]

hi, the brand is Eurolux, check your pm's.

How much for that 85 watter, Sat?

 

[Sinfuldreams]

If CFls came in 400 watts you'd have me 100%

I've seen like 125 Watts at HD I think.

Hey Satghost

ya.. was about to ask. How much did you pay? I am busy trying to enquire at the moment. On the eurolux site , it comes with a whole bay.

Can you use that light on a normal fitting or do you need control gear like with HIDS?

Still if you run into any 400 Watters let me know!

hey Hotc and Mic, they're R136 per lamp where i get them.
they're self-ballasted CFL's so there's no gear except for the lampholder, but i'm cheap so i just solder the wires onto the base. :smile:

 

[Mickey696]

phew... that is quite pricy for flouro. But guess its all in one.

how much you got under one of these guys? I wanna run 3 bonsai mothers (under one ) and then my cuttings under another. Think it will " make the grade"?

 

[highonthechroni]

There are cheaper ones out there, seen some big CFL's for around R80. This was an an electrical wholesaler.

Wow, I didn't know CFL comes in such high wattages. if you pack enough of these 125s in a cab, can you get a decent grow room going?

It would do wonders for my heat problem...

 

[Guest]

Mic: 2 should be fine for a mother and clones.

hotc: wattage and colour temp?

getafix: the most efficient way to use cfls is vertically between your plants/cuttings, reflectors don't do them much justice.

 

[highonthechroni]

Will report back when I venture down to the shop again

 

[getafix]

I've seen a auzzie on this site Tim-Tim with one amazing grow set-up. He hangs several vertical CFLs between his plants...

 

[highonthechroni]

Hi, I got this 45watt Eurolux CFL for R60. It's pretty huge and flippin' bright! Gonna use it in a stealth PC case to keep some mom plants.

Peace
