I think with the $80 that cost you could buy a setup using regular CFLs from walmart or somewhere that would be better than that....IMO

IMO looks like that one isnt going to be to good off it will only cover a 2x2 area for one it has 6500 inital lumens for two (good for a 1x1 area) it says the 400W equivialnt of an incandesant nah ill pass you caould get more lumen out of 4 G.E. flo tubes that are 4 ft long and will only use a bit more power (total of 160W and 12100 lumen) and they are a great color for veggin (6500K) not to mention that you can get 2 ballasts and 4 bulbs at any home-de-pot for less than 50 bucks
