I need a light for my small indor veg room, its main purpuse is to grow plants that go outdoor after 1 to 1.5 month of veg.

I know PL-L lights 55w are probably the best lights for micro growing, because of various reasons.
For example the 55w have lumen output from 4.800 to 5000 lumen, which is perfect for 1 sf of space.

I cant find no information about output of this light, but i bet it is at least same % or more in comparison with the 55w.

Here are other specs:

Tell me what you think, i mean it also has high UV output (27W!) and we all know higher UV means more THC:biggrin:

Short description from
http://www.ecat.lighting.philips.com/l/lamps/uv/germicidal/tuv-pl-l/927909804007_na//

TUV PL-L lamps are compact UVC (germicidal) lamps used in residential water and air disinfection units. The compact size of the lamp allows for a small system design and design flexibility. TUV PL-L lamps offer almost constant UV output over their complete lifetime, for maximum security of disinfection and high system efficacy. Thanks to the single-ended lamp base, lamp replacement is easy.

I am a bit concerned about its main purpuse:disifection
On the other hand lots of UV is perfect.

Features
-Short-wave UV radiation with a peak at 253.7 nm (UVC) for disinfection purposes
-Protective inside coating ensures constant UV output over the complete lifetime of the lamp
-Special lamp glass filters out the 185 nm ozone-forming radiation
-High Output versions contain wind-chill correction for improved performance in moving air and reducing amount of required lamps
-High Output versions for optimum UVC output per lamp length, allowing for reduction of system size
-Warning sign on lamp indicates that the lamp radiates UVC

Applications
-Deactivation of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms
-Residential drinking water units
-Fish pond and process water units
-In-duct air treatment units
-Stand alone air purifiers
-Air disinfection systems in for example hospitals, universities and laboratories
 
UV-C on those, not UV-B or -A. Not a good choice for growing, but might be a good choice for killing bugs, mold, and perhaps even your plants after a bit of time.
