"A Compact Fluorescent Light is a type of fluorescent that was originally designed to replace the standard E26 Edison Incandescent Lamp. The reason being, CFLs will put out the same amount of visible light using much less power and a significantly longer rated life span. Even though the price of the CFLs is higher than Incandescent bulbs, they are generally rated to run anywhere from 8,000 to 15,000 hours. There many advantages of using CFLs. Maybe you are growing personal smoke, or you cant afford an HID system, or an HID system just isnt practical. For some, HID lights arent available in their area. However, CFLs are sold almost anywhere (Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, etc ). CFLs are in general a much cheaper growing solution, and their just plain simple to use self-ballastedand it screws into a regular light socket. Im NOT saying CFLs are better for growing than HIDs, but in some cases its the only thing that will work."
