Default Anyone Used These ?

Hello everyone, As some of you might know this is my first grow, I'm growing in a cuboard with a space of 130 x 100 x 46cm, I'm using a envirolight 125w 6400k for vegging and 2700k for flowering, whilst out the other day I came across these 15w ~ 75w energy saving plant lights, At a £1 each I got a few and was wondering if anyone has ever used or heard of them ?

Hi there On3Tim3OnLy, Thanx for replying. I'm only growing 3 Plants and that would proberly be the most I would grow in that space, Thought the little 15w's were a bargain, so got them. Like you said maybe its worth me buying another 125w envirolight and use them as well. Cheers for the advice.

check the lumens on the small lights coz i there might be real shit .
30watts of cfl is around 2000 lumens (so a 15w will be about 900 lumens which really sucks a envirolight 125w has around 12000 lumens

Hi there again On3Tim3OnLy, At the moment only have the one envirolite at the top and that little 15w in a desk lamp at the bottom, My plants seem to be doing o.k. Yeah do live in U.K, So the sites will be a great help , much appreciated. Just going have to get some more lights. Do have one question though, the reflector that I got with my 125w envirolite, would I be able to put a 200w envirolite in it ? Once again cheers for all your help !

Yh you can but i dont think its best to get the 250watters because i dont think the lumens to watts dont add up w/l it would be best to get one more 125w 2700k and a couple more 15watters As the 125w Big Cfl is about 12000 lumens but they dont say how much the 250watter has.
So 2 125w and about 3-5 or more 15w light bulbs Just put both on the reflector .
Your plants will grow fine with what you got but not big buds remembering i got
1 x 125w (2100k) 12000 lumens
2 x 85w (2700k) 5500 lumens each
3 x 25-30w tubes (4000k-6400k) about 1500 lumens each
2 x 25w (2700k) 1400 lumens each
Just for one plant

Alright, I'll leave getting the 200w envirolight and just get another 125w and a few of those 30w bulbs off that site. Cheers for the advice On3Tim3OnLy.
