got mine at htg supply
yes but the average price is about £100

iv been looking at a 125 Watt Compact Fluorescent kit (£55)


1 x 125 watt Compact Fluorescent Bulb
1 x Compact Fluorescent Shade
1 x Pair of Easy Roll Light Hangers

Lumen output - 8100 Lumens
Colour Temperature BLUE SPECTRUM = 6400K
Colour Temperature RED SPECTRUM = 2700K

Input Voltage - 220/240V at 50/60Hz
Input Current - 0.7A

but i think you only get to choose red or blue spectrum bulbs if so which would be best?

Woud this grow light be any good for say 2 plants at a time?

I just bought a 250W for £25 inc postage, and a bulb for £10 inc postage. Much better and cheaper than a cfl, puts out about 30000 lumens apparently. If you buy a low bay light then rewire it to seperate ballast, you don't have to but its quite easy and it is alot cheaper

Id shell out a little more money and get a HID setup if you can deal with the heat.

Heres a link to a hydro shop offering affordable setups. Ive never purchased from them, so I can't vouch for the quality.

Dont forget to check out Ebay as well. You can find affordable systems there and you usually get extras thrown in(timer, hangars, etc).
