Lightbulb Homemade 460w Cfl duel spectrum veg/bloom light
THIS IS A HOMEMADE VEG/BLOOM LIGHT,

MADE WITH 23 X 20W CFLS , 11 ARE DAYLIGHT (COOL BLUE) AND 12 ARE WARM WHITE ( RED)

IT ADDS UP TO 460W ,@ 39,000 LUMENS

EACH 20W CFL GENERATES AROUND 100 W OF LIGHT, SO THATS 2,300 W

I AM GOING TO FIT 2 PC FANS TO THE UNIT ( INTAKE AND OUTTAKE) TOO COOL IT BUT IT DOESNT GET THAT HOT,

BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY

AND IM GOING TO FIT A COVER TO HIDE THE WIRING WITH AIR HOLES TO ALLOW CIRCULATION

just so you start in the right direction a 20w cfl = 20w, its just equivalent to a 100w standard incandescent bulb.
