THanks man!!!!

It looks like that could have a lot of advantages. I've never heard of someone using those before, but I don't see why not. You could spread out your light better and get those bulbs in close to the plants. However, it has a plug for a lamp or something (the kind of lamp that sits on an end table). You could probably buy a cheapo lamp that fits the 4 pin plug in a second hand store or something, and take out the socket, or I'll bet there is sockets to wire those at Home Depot or an electrical supply store. Those are for budding (2700K), but you could mix those with some vegging bulbs and the veggers should do pretty good.
