study indicates CFL lumen loss ...
The only thing I see that makes this study "dumb as shit" would be it pointing out the obvious. No one ever said incandescent's were better than cfls. We all know they last longer, we all SHOULD know they lose brightness, and we all know incandescent's are the past.

I've been there, done that with cfls. And now I've been there, done that with HID's and there's no comparison. HID/HO floro's is where I'm at now. So many people use cfls for "stealth" grows but in the end they realize stealth is hard as fuck to do when growing a plant that smells, needs ventilation (fan noise), and much more.
Soooo people just use HID. You'll be glad you did. :stoned:
