Yah i am using a 125 envirolite and im flowering with some decent results mind you i have a small grow box but i am planning on getting a few more lights as well. Make sure you get the right spectrum Blue spectrum good for veg and ones with more red spectrum are good for flowering

how can you tell what spectrum they are.

how can you tell what spectrum they are.

By the kelvin temperature. Blue Enviros are 6400 kelvin and red Enviro's are 2700 Kelvin. The higher the kelvin the cooler the light, the lower the kelvin the warmer the light.

Well on mine it said and had a little diagram showing but normaly warm white cfls have more of the red spec and cool white cfl have more of a blue spec

It will be listed on the packaging of the light. Hope this helps.

Just look at the light reflection dude...red/orange or blue/white
