notanovice,
when you say I will not save on electric, do you mean in a watts to lumens ratio. I am using 4 x 36 watt bulbs = 144 watts.
Last time I used a 250 hps.
Do you think I will notice a big difference in veg time.
Cheers,

i`m talking about operational costs, the floros work fine for veg. stage if used properly.
this is just an example to help show you what i mean:
electric kilowatts used by floros will cost about the same as a mh or hps light.
the difference is the light output
the high powered lights are more electrically efficient, using less electricity to power the light, thus costing less to run than floros.
dont get me wrong, floros work fine
just was informing you that floros cost about the same to run as the hps and mh lights
