Not sure what country you're in, but if you have a Home Depot, they have decent CFLs. I have tried a few different size CFLs, ranging from 20 watts, to 250 watts. And with CFLs regardless of size, they do not penetrate far. So, I believe that instead of a few big ones putting some light over a small area of the plant, it is better to have more, smaller CFLs spread over the entire plant. My experience, 23 watt to 42 watt will work best. I yielded best with 26 watt. It does take a lot though.

You feel cool now? Got to use the "Let me google that for you" trick? The search it created didn't come up with shit. This is a forum, designed to help people, not to be a jackass.
I can't speak 4 these~ I have used a simple array of 8- 26w cfl with acceptable results for some time now. I got whole set up at HD -I went 6 veg spektrum and 2 flower - pretty sure 26/27 are most efficient-I used power strip with Y adapters. I personally went this route as I felt for my 2x3 box worked well. Hope it helps

Fail, lol.
I would use the 45w 120v lights on ebay.
