They look like 26w bulbs which are 100w replacement bulbs. From the listing:

Do not use MH, LED, or HPS!!! ​
​
It is importaint that the type of light you use is able to be used by the plant. Incadescents, halogens, hps, mh, etc.. put out a TON of light, heat, and lumens, but most is not used by the plant to produce photosynthesis and growth. Our cfl's are chosen for their low electrical use and because there is not wasted energy producing heat or light that cannot be utilized by plants.​
​
MOST INTERNET AND EBAY SELLERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. Do not be fooled~~!​

What is the best light for a plant? Of course it is SUNLIGHT! What type of bulb most closely mimics this light??? ​

FLUORESCENTS!!​

Jus get some double split light fixtures. $1.50 a piece. $4.50 + bulbs is cheaper than $25. Yes those are 26w

in my opinion you'd be better off (price-wise) going down to your local lowe's or home depot etc. where you can get say a pack of 12 (100 watt Equiv) CFL's for a little less than $2 a piece.

so for less than what you'd pay for 6 you could get double the amount...from a real brand name that is trusted.

Looks like a good buy if your only gonna use them for vegging.
You'll need at least 30,000 lumens to grow some dank.
But if you like ghetto weed, then bloom with those.

You really do not know how many lumens you need unless you know how many square and/or cubic feet the garden is.

A small garden can get maximum results with much less light than 30,000 lumens.

Well I looked at the pics on that grow you posted.
He did a very good job IMO.
That's gotta be the first time I've ever seen buds that size from a CFL grow.
But then again those pics were when they were wet.
Which IMO means only something in a magazine.
That grow journal should be a very good inspiration for some of the other ghetto growers.
