i thought about doing cfl's exclusively...but the wiring problems sort of turned me off. The 4ft shop lights at home depot are $7 and twopacks of bulbs are $3 and they plug right into an outlet strip. I asked around about utility string lights like latewood suggested but no one has heard of them. The closest thing anyone at HD could hype me to was 'clamp lights' that are a socket connected to a plug in cord with a large aluminum (sp) reflector. they were about $8 without the bulb. i'm going to get some cfls just to strew about the grow room during flower......when i get some scratch.

(i found a joint named 'the light bulb depot' on the side of the road, i'm excited to see what kind of wattage they have.....weird how growing changes the topics of your interest)
