High wattage CFL's

Hi
Anyone ever use CFL's in this wattage range and how were they?
85W COMPACT FLUORESCENT 5000K

Thanks

That thing would be great to veg. But the color temp is way off.
5500-6200k is better.

will that bulb screw into a regular lamp socket?

I went out on a limb and bought one of these 200 Watt FLUORESCENT PLANT GROW LIGHT T5 CFL FIXTURE mh - (eBay item 260131019282 end time Sep-19-07 09:30:57 PDT) . My Plants only 4 weeks into flowering so im interested to see what the end product will be.

It should, most CFLs are retrofitted to replace incandescent lights

Hi,
This one is a 5500k 4 pack for $95.
At 300 watts a piece, would 4 of them say replace a 400watt hps?

Those are actually 85w's apeice, 400w equivilant, plus they are the wrong kelvin to replace a hps.
