Hello everyone, As some of you might know this is my first grow, I'm growing in a cuboard with a space of 130 x 100 x 46cm, I'm using a envirolight 125w 6400k for vegging and 2700k for flowering, whilst out the other day I came across these 15w ~ 75w energy saving plant lights, At a £1 each I got a few and whttps://www.rollitup.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=120699&stc=1&d=1211355654as wondering if anyone has ever used or heard of them ?

Hi there On3Tim3OnLy, Thanx for replying. I'm only growing 3 Plants and that would proberly be the most I would grow in that space, Thought the little 15w's were a bargain, so got them. Like you said maybe its worth me buying another 125w envirolight and use them as well. Cheers for the advice.

use 2 x 125w and acouple of 15w everywhere but put the 125watters at the top
remember the better box you got the less light you need

check the lumens on the small lights coz i there might be real shit .
30watts of cfl is around 2000 lumens (so a 15w will be about 900 lumens which really sucks a envirolight 125w has around 12000 lumens

Hi there again On3Tim3OnLy, At the moment only have the one envirolite at the top and that little 15w in a desk lamp at the bottom, My plants seem to be doing o.k. Yeah do live in U.K, So the sites will be a great help , much appreciated. Just going have to get some more lights. Do have one question though, the reflector that I got with my 125w envirolite, would I be able to put a 200w envirolite in it ? Once again cheers for all your help !

Yh you can but i dont think its best to get the 250watters because i dont think the lumens to watts dont add up w/l it would be best to get one more 125w 2700k and a couple more 15watters As the 125w Big Cfl is about 12000 lumens but they dont say how much the 250watter has.
So 2 125w and about 3-5 or more 15w light bulbs Just put both on the reflector .
Your plants will grow fine with what you got but not big buds remembering i got
1 x 125w (2100k) 12000 lumens
2 x 85w (2700k) 5500 lumens each
3 x 25-30w tubes (4000k-6400k) about 1500 lumens each
2 x 25w (2700k) 1400 lumens each
Just for one plant

Alright, I'll leave getting the 200w envirolight and just get another 125w and a few of those 30w bulbs off that site. Cheers for the advice On3Tim3OnLy.
