wackymack, where did you get the center light that has the reflector ??? I haven't been able to find any cfl light kits that would come complete with the hood and/or multiple lights in them.

u should ask to see peoples cfl setups,to compare and see there innovations. sry for jackin but just tryin to help out,ive been usin cfls for a few years now with no probs.

heres my set up...1 125w 6500k,4 42 3500k,total of 22,800 lumens at 293w,i had to take down the batwing reflector to help ventilate the heat out,since it has a fan site on top.



id like to join the cfl crew,cus if u know how to use cfls u can pull great yeilds,it takes skill and innovation to use cfls,hids are hot as hell and you need to keep them 2-4ft away from the plants,this can cause strechage to the maxxx

theyre a waste of money not worth it

i got the hood online,the 4 42s i added on and i took down the batwing reflector inside to vent the heat out thru the top,and the batwing was made of aluminum,wich is a bad reflection source anyway since it causes heat burn

Thank you, they sure as hell are exspensive too. Do you mind telling where online you got a cfl light with a hood ?? SH is the only place I have found that has any with a hood, I HAVE found some on ebay that are like enclosed flood lights. I would like to find a source that has them with more than one bulb in them. Any suggestions ??

I buy clip on shop lights at walmart, (around $6.00) but I don't put the reflective hood on mine since I use the splitter for 2 bulbs.

If you get too many lights going some times those hoods really get in the way.

Yeah those clamp on light's are the way to go. I can fit two of my 42 Watt bulbs in a y splitter in one. It only work's with the right bulb's because i tried my 23 Watt bulb's and it wouldn't fit. You can find all kinds of different thing's to use as light fixture's, just look around the electrical of walmart, lowes, or home-depot. They all have good stuff.

Dr., I am still trying to study up on all these overwhelming choices of cfl bulbs. I have found some screw in type bulbs that I like and I would like an opinion on them if you would please. I see that most everyone is using the 42W 2700K bulb for flowering by using multiple bulbs. I have found some 100W 2700K bulbs and some 135W 3000K bulbs and although they are larger in diameter than the 42W bulbs I see everyone using, wouldn't it be better to go with a higher wattage bulb in the same color spectrum ??? I guess my basic question is this....

Would I be better using the 100W and/or the 135W bulbs for flowering instead of the 42W bulbs since they are all 2700-3000K spectrum ??

They are from a seller off ebay, I can post a link to them so you could actually see them but not sure if the forum allows that. Thank you for any help.

EDIT*** That is the actual wattage of the cfl bulb I am speaking of, not the incandescent equivilant (SUPPOSEBLY....I have sent a question to clarify but not got an answer back as of yet)
