"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]400 WATT (4- 100 WATT AND 3 SPLITTERS)
USAGE IS ONLY 104 WATTS. 1750 LUMENS PER LIGHT!! EQUALS 7000 LUMENS TOTAL!!! 2700 K SPECTRUM X 4!! THAT'S 10,800 K!!!!"

that's bullshit. spectrum never adds up!

saying 4 x 2700K spectrum = 10800K spectrum is like saying 4 red bulbs = green light.

And be aware that those are really just 26W 2700K bulbs. The 100W is the power of regular incandescent lighting that it matches (because CFLs are more efficent than incendescent bulbs). But plants don't care about that. You can't add 4 of those bulbs in your cab and say you got 400W of light in there.
