I built a light bar that houses 14 bulbs and I built it in the fasion of a MH style hood, but again, I daisy-chain wired each outlet to the next. Each socket I connect a 200Watt daylight bulb that only uses 42Watts of electricity. this way I get over 50 thousand lumen for all socket filled. but, I'm thinking it might be benefitial to my plants to supplement 7 of the 14 outlets with these party bulbs you're talking about. or maybe stay with the 14 200watt'ers. what do you thnk. if a pic of my homemade veger would help let me know. Others are welcome to use the design i'll answer any questions about it. I have 12 plants under it now and they grow like wild fire. but im hoping this new bulb concept could be an elevator to my current op, which is respectable in size. that white plastic is 95% reflective and is 3mils thick. great stuff. anyway, it is wrapped around thick garden fencing to form a hood of sorts. that guides the light escaping at the sides downward. this conttraption the way you see it is only using 250 watts total, but putting out 2800Lumen each bulb(42W=200Wx7). very cool, almost no heat. you can see that it is dark above it proving optimal use of all light produced. the plants underneth that you may see are just under 2days old. The fixture works great.
