The amount of light lost between the individual glass tubes that oppose each other and the better than 50% of the lamp surface area that actually curls in and faces each other is energy lost that does not make it to the canopy. This is the problem with most CFL lamps that have coilex type designs. The energy lost between the coils and opposing glass cylinders is wasted in a poor geometrical design for plant lighting. This particular lamp brings that to a new low. The nice thing about fluorescent is that you can go with longer tubes that provide more PAR energy to the canopy and with a well designed reflector move the energy from behind the glass tube around it and to the plant canopy where it will do you some good.

heres one more testimony as to why I like the crees better....I crashed out hard and forgot to open my door on the grow box, and in total, with all 14 bulbs going, it hit 95, yea, pretty hot, but didn't scorch my baby, like it did when I used cfls. idk, I gotta stop taking sedatives, or just find a place I don't have to grow in a box...but anyway,,, they work,, I like em. I have actually done this same thing, only with cfl's, and killed my plant.
