Im willing to purchase the lights (first-timer) on aliexpress, as there are no local shops for such things and only few ebay sellers ship to my small country..
I will be growing a single plant in a closet (most likely fem bubblegummer or african swazi red).

veg&flow:

Im not aiming for high/strong quality buds, neither Im aiming for big yield, as I have only around 80-100$ budget for lighting. It's for personal grow and I don't even like high-thc weed, I kinda like to not get completly stoned but just to chill a bit, so low-thc buds are completly fine to me. I can't choose which of there 3 to buy. Any tips, please?

It will be not 240$.. it's 3pcs/lot, so 20$*4=80$ for 12 bulbs. I have a budget of 80-100$ for lighting, so for now I can't afford 300w led, maybe on next grow..

Then you just need to add DRIVERS and some Cooling...

Tis Only an Idea...but think if you gonna go LED on a Budget, better to Build yourself...Loads of Info and Tutorials on this...even in my Journal..

Im not very good at making my own things, so I don't trust myself in doing that..

Anyway, I spent last 2 days browsing and searching for best lighting solution for a budget grow.

I ended up finding these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125w-Red-Spectrum-2700k-CFL-warm-hydroponic-grow-light-lamp-bulb-GES-E40-/221336165391?pt=UK_Baby_Baby_Feeding_Bottle_Warmers_Coolers_LE&hash=item3388a9dc0f
I want to buy 3 of them for both veg and flow.
When combined, they will have ~20000lm and power of ~315w, which seems like a perfect combination for Single plant/Indica. Are these bulbs real/good? Also, do I need cooling?
