Dude, those bulbs are clearly gonna work, but there's something at Walmart that they don't advertise on the website. Its a CFL bulb that's made by brinks. Its $18 and its like 75w/7000 lumens. Numbers might be off a little bit! And I just came from Lowes not too long ago to get a HPS bulb and they have a even bigger one than the one at Walmart. Not sure of the stats on that bulb though. They both fit in a standard socket. I may get some to accent the sides of my cab.

wow dude what did i just show u yesterday??!? lol. skip cfls. buy that hps for less than $30 with shipping. it will do more work than whatever cfl setup u will try to make. dont get me wrong but cfls do have their place but they arient that efficient and use up alot of power and dont put out a lot of lumens.

it was in a different thread. heres the linkhttp://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=7&FGNumber=E-MT6H151G
how do cfls take up more energy? when u put a 400 watt cfl system vs a hps 400 the cfl puts out half the lumens. in order to get the equivalency of an hps u need to get waaaayyyy more wattage in cfls

if you're going with cfl's go with daylight bulbs for veg..you can get them at wal-mart...they sell them in 2 packs for like $8...i'm guessing the bulbs you are checking out are more of a soft or warm white...good for flower...not so much for veg....
