CFLs....warmer color, or, more lumens?

2100K / 850 lumens

or


3000K / 1750 lumens


Meself...I'm thinking it better that I go with the warmer color.

Cooler is better for most CFL uses ...

Did I mention that they're flowering?

That'd be why I'm leaning on warmer instead of more lumenier.

No, 'lumenier' is not an actual word. But...being as I'm in wake-n-bake mode here. :stoned: ...anyhoo...I went with warmer. Being as they're not as warm as the higher wattage deals...I can get'm a wee bit closer to the sites and not worry about the leaves getting too warm.

:smokin: ~tokes~ :smokin:

Ahhhh....and here I am just warming up too :cool:

Umm..

Coolwhite CFL's for seedling+veg
Warmwhite CFL's for flowering

:)

Best is to get the energy saving eco cfl's.
I have 42watt bulb that gives of the same as 160watts. This was £7 per cfl (for cool white, B22's)

The Warmwhite get as many as possible for the flowering :) I didnt want eco warmwhites because they didnt give of heat at all, and i have a temperature problem in my loft.

Use the 3000k they are in the proper spectrum for flowering plus have more lums from what you describe.
