    CFLs more hype than value for lighting your home

    This is a pretty sweet review of CFLs i found and this is in regard to lighting your home, not growing obviously. It just addresses the massive misunderstand or hype of CFLS. Everybody reads they save you $ so they dont actually think about it. CFLs are just a huge marketing scheme to make...

    T5 HO vs. CFLs?

    I went through all the trouble of building a sheetmetal reflector, and rigging up 8 sockets in it only to find that 8 42 watt cfl daylight bulbs will run me close to the cost of buying a new 2 foot, 4 bulb t5ho system.

    Enclosed ballast

    Why are enclosed ballast/fixtures cheaper? For example, a 250 watt HPS setup with a ballast and fixture is about $180 lets say, then an all in one fixture/reflector with a ballast inside it, is like $120. Whats the reasoning behind this? To me it seems better to have an all in one system.
