"42 watt compact flourescent"...probably as good as flourescents get. Sufficient for about 1 sq/ft.

I was looking arround at an other store and found some other Fluorescent lights but I don't think they'll work this is what it says on the cover,
30w 110V-130V 50/60Hz
The bulb only costs $1.50.

i have those CFL it say 150 watt but its actually 42 watt. Like Mutt said to me, the 150 was just for advertisement. so basically your getting 42 watt for 2600 lumen. I'm using them right now and so far so good. My plant is not tall and its 6 inches and its 1 month already. The CFL are fine, but then you have to somehow find socket for it. I built mines from the parts i picked up at the hardware store. IMO, your better off with MH.
