I use that exact same one, but only for my clones. Not good for the entire grow, but great for clones and the first days of vegetating.

i use similar ones the bulbs are the same but mine dont have a an enclosure
i think they work great as they are low heat and energy saving
mine are 125 watts each i use two at the same time one red and one blue spectrum
if you can afford a hps light or higher powered one then get those
but if funds are limited and stuff they work fine
the only thing i will say is that the yeild you get off these lights is less than what you get off hps or high powered lights
i was told expect around a half oz from each plant using the envirolights
with a hps you can get up to 2-3 oz depending on grow conditions
check out my grow in this section its titled cinnamon and mango grow
i would reccomend them if your just starting aswell.
but if your doing quit a few plants you should get a few lights not just the one
try get higher powered ones that are the same they dont cost much more i think mine were £25 each from ebay to. you will find you get a better grow the more power/ light you can provide especially using these lights
hope this is usefull
oh and i think they work fine for both veg and flower

they look like the envirolites i use
i use a 200w enviro for my vegging and another for my flowering and the results are pretty nifty
i got about 2 ounces and three 8ths of my last 2 plants
check out my white rhino log
cheers all :)

as busteruk7 says, they do look like envirolites and I use them too. They are ok for veg but thas about it. You can do a full grow with them but I don't think you get the lumens off it to produce fantastic flowers. You can get the MH colour ones (65k i think) and HPS colour ones (is it 33k i dunno)

They work 'OK', for the amount they cost too run, and the amount off heat that needs too be dealt with, they are a bargain, but the light penetration is nothing campred too an MH or HPS, you will get good results though.
