Thats enough to veg that area, except you won't really be able to fit the light in there well.. And I think its gonna get awfully crowded in there with 25 unless you're going for a really fast flip to 12/12..

Yup yup...I'm a general contractor...they are in fact all over large construction sites.

HOWEVER I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE STEALING FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES...IT'S DARK, THERE'S NO ONE AROUND...THEIVES THAT ARE CAUGHT ARE GENERALLY DEALT WITH SEVERLY WHEN CAUGHT IN DARK PLACES WITH NO WITNESSES.

BESIDES IT'S JUST FAWKING WRONG TO STEAL AND ALMOST AS WRONG TO CONDONE OR SUGGEST IT. BAD FORM MY FRIEND, BAD FORM!!!!!!

and on a more personal note...thanks, it's people like you that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year replacing crap I find stolen, you know we can't work when you steal our stuff?!!?!?! Oh and those lights, that's called EGRESS LIGHTING, it's sole purpose is so we don't trip and kill ourselves at 5am when the fawking sun isn't even up yet. And when it's not in place OSHA comes and shuts down our job site because we are then in violation of federally mandated construction safety laws!!! Makes me sick when I have to be woken up by my Foreman because someone stole from our job site!!!!

YOU WANNA GROW POT FINE...DON'T STEAL FROM HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, thats about what I'd expect from lights like that.. Ya know how in the FAQ it says that incandescents and halogens will not work?. Well the reason thats written there and so many other places on the site is because incandescents and halogens will not work.. Its analagous to trying to use your oven element as a reading light..

Is that 6hrs direct sunlight?? eg Balcony facing generally south (assuming you're in the northern hemisphere)?? If so, I've seen that work not too badly..

Dude, Color rendering index is a way to measure the accurateness of the light spectrum. The closer the CRI is to 100 the more perfect the light spectrum is...so this is very important to a grow!

You bet you could dude. Just make sure the outside temps are close to the temps inside. Within like 10 degrees or so. If not the temp shock may do more harm than good. But if the temps are close, go for it! Your plants will love it!
