another light question

[003]

can i use this light bulb?

 

[420God]

It has to be of the right light spectrum for plants or it might just cook them or do nothing.

well im not sure what kind this is but just by looking at it does it seem like it might work. it doesnt put off to much heat either

no writing on it anywhere? remember it has to be usuable light energy for the plant

What kind of light is it...

 

[420God]

That looks like an old street light, where did it come from? If it has a standard filament inside then I don't believe it will work.

 

[003]

well it says 130v 15w and it says FEO on it down by where it tells me how many watts

 

[003]

i found it at my computer desk inside of a lamp that hangs upside down

The wattage alone says you can't use it. 15w isn't nearly enough.

i know that much but i dont have any other bulbs right now besides one clf so i wanted to use the one clf and this light bulb because i only have one plant right now but i dont think its getting enough light

you no what i would just go to home depot and pick up a couple 40 watt cfl lights $9-$10 each...but make shure its the right spectrum (7200k for veg, and 2700k for flowering).

I would pick up a few more CFLs, they're pretty cheap.

 

[green thumb115]

o and make shur the lights hang about 3 inches above the plant
