hey lizard heres the link that will go more in detail about lighting/lumens Answers about CFL, HPS, How Much Light... - Cannabis.com Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News also those sockets put me back at 6 bucks a piece at walmart and the y adapters that allow you to put 2-cfls on one socket put me back about 1.50 a piece from home deopt......Hey Tech how many lumens do your CFL's produce? Because I checked out superstore and I can get 6 of them for 13 bucks and all of them together would be 4800 lumens is that enough to do any growing or should I get a couple more maybe in a higher wattage? And how many lumens are in a 400 Watt HPS and a 400 Metal Halide?
I was also wondering about where all you fancy cats get your hanging light fixtures. You know the wired ones that have two sockets to screw the light bulbs in. Also I was wondering if there were 3 sided ones and how much did you pay for these fixtures?
Thanks for all your help
correct ....my bulb says its rated at 55,000 lumens which i dont really buy that.....im thinkn more like 45,000lumens.............400w can be 30,000 to 50,000 lumens depending on bulbs. So many types.
Yea i don't always trust what the box says. I go by maker , would rather spend more and get what i pay for.correct ....my bulb says its rated at 55,000 lumens which i dont really buy that.....im thinkn more like 45,000lumens.............
