Probably 38 42w (150w output) cfl's, but that's still crazy. I'm sure i can speak for all of us when i say this...... I have to see some pics. :roll:

FELONIOUSCARPO · Feb 26, 2007

FELONIOUSCARPO · Feb 26, 2007

Hydroflo · Feb 26, 2007

Personally i think its to much and a waste of money!! but then again that is just my honest opinion.

regionaldragon · Feb 26, 2007

wow dude, that is an ass load of lights, and how in the hell are u putting it in a 4x4 place? do u know how much ur light bill is going to be??? JESUS

FELONIOUSCARPO · Feb 26, 2007

all the cfls are hanging from there wire I have a hole in the top just big enough to fit 2 wires through 14 gauge on the end of the wire I put a light fixt the chead brownone and then I put an adapter into the fixture so I can put 2 cfls on the same fixture when I have to move the light up I just pull the wire from the top of the box and bend it to the side it works great my light bill went up by about 100- $150 kind a hard to break it down I Have a pool and a pond with water fall with fish in it so I use alot of power any way oh well just pay the bill

That is one hell of a run-on sentence.

When you are done hanging a bazillions CFL's, you will find that ONE HID fixture would have worked better.

It sounds like a fire waiting to happen. Your setup does not sound safe and you should re-think what you are doing and switch to something sensible.

The more wires and connections and fixtures is a recipe for disaster.
