lighting q's

hi ppl im thinking of getting some new cfl's but i need to know if the bulbs i have seen would do the plants any good, the one's i have seen are called "GOVENA" dimmable and i found a lot of them going cheap on the internet and in the local DIY shop, i cant seem to find out anything about them, the only thing i do know is they are 20w and warm white, i cant find anything else like what kelvin they are and anything about the luman!! please help me on this as i don't know what to do. i need info on this bulb only please
thank you all

you should be looking at 42w+ cfl

Yeah, you don't want dimmable ones either.

yea but i just want to know about this bulb at the mo, i will be getting some bigger bulbs don't worry. i found these very cheap and alot of them. if they have what i need i'll be getting about 30 of them. i'v tried researching them but im struggling to find anything about them, please someone must know out there
thanks

you tried
Wal-mart Lowes home depot ?

Yeah...wal-mart and lowes will have everything you need.

lowes even has MH and HPS bulbs.

lol, the problem i have is that im in england and we don't have a wal-mart or lowes, i'v looked all over the place and can't find any really high wattage bulbs, the cf'l i found on the internet are the price of a hps and i just don't have that kind of cash at the mo. i have found some bulbs on the site Rosman posted but it's in the us and by the time i paid postage it would work out the same as the bulbs i found in the uk! i have found some info now about this "GOVENA" cfl and i am not sure about it! i think it works out at 7,920 luman if i had 6 of them and they are 2700k warm white. anyway here is some info about them:

Yes, you can use them. But what people are saying is that if you're going to use cfl's (which are crappy anyway), you might as well get the stronger wattage.

Shit, by US standards, you're a road trip away from amsterdam, drive up there!

ok thanks for the "yes" i know i need bigger wattage but like i said i have a problem getting them over here, as for the roadtrip m8 i wouldn't come back i love it in amsterdam, it's just not practical for me to go 4 bulb's is it!! my partner would kill me!! lol what i think i'll do is get about 10 of them for now and save up some cash for the bigger one's. you don't know how hard it is for me to find the bloody things over here, i know there cheap as shit over there but its about £50 per 100w bulb thats what $70 so its just too much cash for one bulb.

i could get a 400w hps for £70 over here m8 so im just going to do this grow and try them i think, im new to the growing game so i do want to try all the different light's too see which i find easiest and which i get the better results from! im greatful for all the help, i just think it's a joke that the prices are so low over there and so high here for the same light's!!
