Default CFL help please....
Im thinking of using CFLs for vegin. Im very new to this but have read that CFLs with 6500K or 5000K spectrum are best for vegin! I came across this fitting (Eterna Fluorescent Louvred Ceiling Fitting D144 White (H)30mm x (W)301mm, D144) and wondered if it would be suitable for what I need. Hope you guys can point me in the right direction!

Will it work = Yes

BUT

Just buy regular CFL's if I were you. That unit you posted if you zoom in has a specific adapter that is a pain to find. Also it is only 18 watts which is really small.

On a side not try not to post this same question 3 times ........

I've been back and forth on cfls..I used them (2x 26w) for veg, but I should have used 46w...+++ and when you get to that point a T5 is a better option for small scale grow (not hid).. for about $60 you get two T5's and hanger, batwing ref... plus if you still grow without HID you can get red spectrum bulbs cheap.. They won't be the tight buds that HID gives, but a cheap easy (low temp, small..etc) way...
