I have a 300 watt equivalent (65 actual watts) that was purchased from Lowes... Brand's called "Bright Effects". I wouldn't recommend running these lights 24/0 as they burn out.... i think the spectrum of the bulb should tell you that these lights should be on a 12/12 light schedule, anyway...
They have lasted for about 7 months straight on 12/12. If anything, I would be running the cheaper 26w 6500K daylights 24/0 for vegging.... I would get this 65 watt, 300 EQUIVALENT, fo sho. If you have the room in your grow space for it, throw it in there with a dome reflector and stick that puppy right in the middle of the foliage... There are plans for getting two more of these for floor lighting...
Here are some pictures of how big that 65 actual watt, 300 watt equivalent "mini monster" CFL looks... The plants respond well to it, overall... But i'd much rather go for any CFL that has 40 actual watts. 40 watters seem to be the most efficient in regards to lumen output per dollar AND you can spread those 40 watters around more freely.... These are my favorites as they are a perfect size, don't produce much heat and the lumen output per dollar rocks:

^^Those are all that get put in the box, now^^
The CFL in the foreground is the huge 65 watter... See how it serves the LST'ed sativas rather well! The small dome reflector helps.
Check out this grow journal for more examples of both of these lights in a set-up: (so many pics)
