Do you know how many lumens those put out? I've looked at them but couldn't find it anywhere on the box. Din't know whether it was worth it....

Yeah we use BC (?) and I think Americans use ES. Although we do have ES here as well, most sockets are BC so I just bought the BC globes too.

I was wondering also, how much lumens do those circular fluorescents give out? Coz they would be perfect for growing. Could get perfectly even light to the whole canopy with a few of em.
tomm01 Reviewed by tomm01 on . Answers about CFL, HPS, How Much Light... Although I'm still kind of a new poster, I keep seeing a lot of the same comments--many of which are answered an Dr. Khronik's excellent El Cheapo Guide to Lighting. But there are a few things I'd like to add in regard to watts, lumens, cfl, hps, and efficiency and how much light you need. Maybe this should be stickied? Watts have nothing to do with light or growth. Watts measure how much power a light fixture uses to produce light. You can tell how efficient a light bulb is by looking Rating: 5
