CFL question

[headshake]

The K is actually for Kelvin. It measures the temperature of the light emited from the bulb.. And, higher kelvin values mean less lumen output from the bulb.

you are right tux, my bad. i was in a rush and trying to make a point and misspoke.

how do higher kelvin values mean less lumen output? the color temp is controlled by the gasses in the envelope, nothing more. how can i buy two 23W, 1600 lumen CFLs and get one in 6500K and one in 2700K?

CFL question So im getting 2 150 watt cfl's actual wattage and one in 2700k and the other is 6500k can i use both of these at the same time or do i have to use them one at a time like 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower hoping i can use them both together obviously for the extra lumens. sorry for sounding like a total noob Rating: 5
