CFL's a new era

this is a setup that was done about a year ago and the photos are 5 weeks into flower and the light details are as follows 2700 kelvin 420 watts 40000 lumens i bought the lights and hood from a the red-shield co. it is the best light i have ever ovned and it came with to set of spectrums 2700 kelvin and 6000 kelvin but he will custamize to any kelvin rating you want guaraneed not to fail has two year warrenty you can ask them any thing you want and they make lights of any shape or size and not just CFL's they do it all and for half the price... find him at [email protected]

It seems as if most of the side lighting would end up bouncing toward another side of a bulb, like tubes do.

i used a light meter and it was right on at 2.5 inches from the plant lumens were 3800 the math added up to 40000 lumens so it seems that there is not much loss the hood is high gloss egg shell white it is a great reflector the guy that made the hood is pretty good he also supplied the bulbs

Its really nice how clean it looks. Although I dont like how the bulbs are vertical, I like it better when they are horizontal, more rooooooom

yea i used to have them at an angle when i bought the hood it came with 10 Y sockets so i could angle the lights also i could have double the amount of bulbs but i was only blooming one plant at the time of the pics so i did not need all of the watts so i took out the Y sockets with them in it was 80000 lumens at 840 watts 7.4 amps a little much for me that plant produced when finished about 4.5 ounces not bad for one plant it is nice though that the hood is 8 inches deep because it really puts the reflector to work the plant is normaly inside that 8 inches the bulbs are 6.5 inches long it really bounces the light around i will say that i would not trade that hood for any other at the present time the strain was skunk special.

I wish my setup was that clean.

if you look at some of the othere postings you can see it with the andgled bulbes and diffrent spectrums yea i know itr is a plug but its the best light i have ever owned and would not trade it for and HPS and or an MH it dose the job of both all in one with out all the heat problems get it at [email protected] it came with a two year warrenty no questions asked just problems solved
