[clever_intuition]

The size of the grow box is very important to what kind of light you will need

they are compact florescents. You can get them at wal-mart, k-mart, lowes, homedepot.

online cheapest I've found is at 1000bulbs dot com

Problem with the hi-watt compact flos is they are hot...better to just flip the bill and get an HPS or MH.

you need to do some "fixture" modifications. I just took a three light bathroom fixture for ten bucks at wal-mart and wired it up for a plug.

Do not pay attention to "incadescent equivilent" three things you want to look for when shpooing for those lights.
1. Lumen output
2. Actuall wattage use
3. Kelvin temp.

Home Depot has these light bulb mounts. They are only $2 and you need to wire them yourself. I use one in my veg box. It's covered with foil tape but I think you can make it out. The bulb is a 23watt CFL (compact florescent) I got at Big Lots for $1.

Most guys at Home Depot are idiots. They get paid good money because they can pass a drug test. Trust me on that one.

 

[Gary Ganja]

ok,two rubbermaid tubs on top of each other,how many lumens should i be looking for??

 

[hazewarrior]

:doh:

 

[Gary Ganja]

lol my bad i was high...i took your advice and i got the 23w lights.i got three of em.they put out 1600 lumens a piece.i bout the light fixture too,i will be posting pics to hopefully help out other dummies like me..
