    Enough light??

    is 1 200 W red/blu CFL good enough for 8 sq. ft?? I have a small space and heat is an issue.

    Also wondering about HPS/CFL combos does a 150W HPS give off alot of heat? and would it matter what spectrum the CFLs are in the combo?

    Some Options:
    2' x 96W 4 Lamp Tek Lite T5-24 @ FUTUREGARDEN.COM

    CFL Lights>CFL Lamps>Eco-Light CFL Lamps with CFL Lights>CFL Accessories>Budget CFL Reflectors

    Enough light??

    hid lighting gives off way more heat than floros/cfls
    a good rule of thumb is 50 watts per square foot of spacing of hid lighting
    8 square foot 4x2. a 200 watt floro is not efficient enough for that space. maybe 2 of them but then thats 400 watts of power. better off getting hid lighting
    if you were to get a hps and want to add cfls i would add the more blue spectrum to it

    good luck
