Just slow down for a second. 65watt cfl does not equal 300 watts. It is 65 watts but puts out the same light as a 300 watt incandescent. 3 of those will not fit in a pc box trust me. One or two maybbe. Go to home depot they sell em for 15$ a piece. And you will need to have a shit ton of air flow in that box.

I'm after the lumens not watts. Watts mean nothing its all about lumens and color temperature.. 6500k veg and 2700k for flowering.. I Know the fit cause i have it all measured out and designed in a blueprint.

Wow! 10,140 lumens out of just 195 Watts


Just so you know about efficiency:

- That's about the same Lumen Output as a 100 watt HPS. :bigjoint:

I have some big CFL's and they still produce a lot of heat in an enclosed area.

Good Luck :joint::peace:
