Circiline Fluoresent?

Has anyone ever used a circle type fluro around a small plant to get complete 360 degree side coverage with light?
 
I have been wondering about that too, they look and seem like a good idea. And if you could get them with decent wattages, as well as the right color spectrum I don't see why it wouldn't work well. Who knows, maybe we will see some good responses.
 
I guess nobody is interested in giving us advice or feedback on this subject. Well doesn't that just suck. lol. Maybe one day Dfunk.
 
So, do you have any experience or knowledge to share on the subject? They seem like a good idea assuming you can get them in decent wattages, and spectrum. Covers a nice area ya know.
 
I think a fixture design might really be the most difficult aspect of this since it's unheard of.
 
I had one for a few days, but it was to loud, I'd hear it when I went to bed to I took it out. Mine was a 30W I think, I don't think it would have done much.
 
So it seems the lack of lumens they produce being available in only low wattages is insufficient & the color spectrums might also pose a problem.
 
these do not produce enough light intensity to do any good...you will also run into problems trying to mount something like this....if you must use flourocents them stick to t5 straight bulbs for your vegging until you can get some hid lighting for flowering....
 
how bout a link to the thing we are talking about instead,,,,
this bulb debate comes in again like above just stop it
"some people think the cucumber tastes better pickeled....."
 
wait you mean put the plant in the middle of a circular tube flouro then right?
if that's the case you gotta be careful of burning the leaves when they touch the bulb so would be more work than it is worth
 
Fluros can touch the leaves because they don't really get hot. I was only thinkin' about doing this for the seedling stage of growth.
