are these lights of any use?

[bugsblake]

hi all. i was clearing out the cupboard the other day and found a whole box of these lights! are they of any use for growing? i have a 300watt cfl dual spec light and wondered if adding these lights will help at all? or if i can use them for seedlings or something? thanks

nope theyre really weak those are 8 and 11 watts, and a plant needs about 3 42 watters

Assuming they are in the right temperature range, which would be 6500k for veg, they would maybe be a little useful for fresh clones/seedlings, but only for 2 weeks max, and no more than 2 or 3 plants, and thats really pushing it. The plants needs will quickly surpass what those lights can produce.
