I'm sorry if this is the dumbest question ever... If the answer is they have to be physically bigger to create more light, then I apologise for being a dick.
The thing is, I've got 3 x 23w CFLs placed horizontally at the top of my PC grow. I've been thinking about ways of upping the light in there for my 3rd grow, and then it dawned on me that CFLs go above 23w. Now with the ceramic socket against the back wall of the pc box, and the bulb in there, it only gives me about 2cm of space before the side panel of the case. So I haven't got any room for longer bulbs.
I've had a good google of things, and although almost all light sockets come with dimensions, I can't find any dimensions for the bulbs themselves.
If I could get some 42watters and just swap them over, then that'd be the most hassle-free upgrade to my box I could do.
So, to clarify my ramblings. Can you get 42w (or 68w) CFLs that are the same length as a regular 23w CFL?
Cheers all,
