Last time i shut down my little stealth plan. Now i wanna go again at it.. But i looked up my bulbs and this one is known to flicker before catching on fire? Well i have this exact one.. Brand new in my socket in my room and its already flickering.. I don't think the ones ima use in the Grow room flicker. SO should i be worried about my grow room lights? or just my bedroom one? :-(

@kevin.. Nice grow man! xD Goodluck on that. Oh and thanks im not gonna worry often. I was high also last night lmfao so maybe i was just worried for no reason. I don't know if 100watts is gonna be good enough for like 4 plants? Should be.

what is the brand you're worried about?
i have seen a thread that a Bright Effects cfl caught fire for 1 grower, but in general cfl's are supposed to fail without fire
i do feel much better with large porcelain sockets for them, just in case

hahahaha i cant believe we are discussing CFL lights spontaneously combusting lol im pretty sure a healthy percentage of american homes use these for normal light for years with no fires related lol
