Clone/Vegg light

I have a 3ftx15inchx4ft area I want to setup for clones and would like input on what light suites my needs. Id only want maybe 4-6 clones at any given time. Thaks.

I'm just curious, you have almost 160 posts on RIU but you are asking what kind of light you would use to grow???? WTF

Does 160 posts make me an expert? I wasnt aware thats the asking questions cutoff point.

both would work , i personaly like the 4 or 5 row t5 lights because you can put them right ontop of your humidity dome and they dont produce to muc heat, but if you go with the cfls i would go for the 24 watts so you can mix the color spectrums and it seems to me like smaller ones produce less heat because i had a 300watt cfl and that mofo got really hot. but then again thats equal to 12 25watt cfls and now i only use 3 of those for my mom

If I can find a 4row light that fits my dimensions that'll be my choice. As far as the humidity dome, Im planing a small dwc. After taking clones would I have to use a dome or could they go straight into the dwc tub.

I am using almost the same lights 4 t5's. I am using light fixtures from home Depot, they are only 2 lights per fixture. but they are also only about $30 per fixture. alot cheaper then the one that they sell in hydro shops. they are easy to wire up and you can add more as needed.

This is an old picture, but it shows how I wired it and what they look like. hope to save you a buck or two.

Thanks, Ill look at them next trip to the store.
