Does this light fit into a normal socket?

105w CFLs 2700k warm white :)

:cool:

yes it does

Keep it mind that the warm (2700k) bulbs are recommended for the flowering stage. There are plenty of growers that use warm bulbs for their entire grow but most people use the "cooler" (6500k) for veg which allows them to keep the light even closer to the plants.
It really helps to keep the plant shorter in the long run. Good Luck :thumbsup:

but it's 230v for Europe....you want that voltage or do you want 115v for USA?

I am in the USA so what, those won't work? They're the cheapest i've found.

oh, and I've already got some plants growing under cool white cfls, i just wanted to add this. More light more bud

Correct, they will NOT work in the USA. You need 120v bulbs. Check out this website:

They have 105w CFL's starting at $18.99

Just bought a couple of those from 1000bulbs.com, the 4100k version. Took about a week to get here, just came today. They're big! They look like an oversized caricature of a small CFL. They didn't have anything warmer at 1000bulbs.com (in that 105watt size), or I'd have gotten that. I'll see how 4100k does for flower. I also have like eight smaller 2700k 26-30w CFLs in the same closet, so it should be okay I think. They do fit in normal sockets, but make sure you use sockets rated for 150 watts; wouldn't want to see anyone's home burn down. Been there, done that.

get i in the 4100-6500 range they work

I know what you mean Jam, I just got 3 of the 150w and they are huge! Like 5" in diameter. I have to rig something to my reflectors to keep them from dangling they are so big & heavy.

I probably could have gotten away with the 105's but wanted to have mad light on them for flowering. Plus the 150's are 2700k, a little better spectrum I think.

cool.. can you start a thread or post some pictures of your grow.. I would like to see how those bulbs work out.. I think you could grow a FREAKING monster plant if you surrounded it with 4 of those bulbs and flowered it at (6-10 nodes)10 inches tall..

congrats on the new LIGHTS!!!
