Need Expert Advice on CFL

Hi all,

Can someone tell me by looking at these specs if this light is sufficient for growing purposes?












Code Base Watt Volt Luminous
Flux mA Colour
Temp Lifespan
hour Ø mm Length
mm











G241 E40 85W 240V 5100lm 635mA 6400K 6000 87 323

I'm using it in a space of 2'X1.5'
Is 1 enough in a space this size or will i require more?

Thank you

You showed absolutely nothing, yer dimensions are too small for anything. I have been called a CFL expert, let me know wat ya need to know

Sorry, the first post made an error, here is the info of the lamp.

The space is 2 feet X 1.5 feet. I have 2 sections this size, Im only using this space to grow from seed, root, little bit veg. Flowering has different room.

OK, thats enuf space fer ya to get through a LITTLE veg, as long as the lights arent too big. You can use that fer wat ya want. he Kelvins seem good. Couldnt see 5100 Lumens hurtin ya right then, either!

Just for some more info, im planning on going SOG. Thats y i said LITTLE veg. this space will just get the clones ready for the flowering fase. the space is also 2 feet high with adequate ventilation. Would anyone suggest adding another 1 of those CFL`s in the grow space? And if i were to switch to MH instead of using CFL`s, will that make a significant improvement on the rooting fase?

IMO, add the extra CFL! W/yer limited space too much heat is an issue!
