Halogen and Mercury quartz are not much different than a incandescent lamp. Very, very inefficient lighting, especially for growing. CFLs are a much better option for you in this case.
Shovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on . Closet Setup Im a newbie at growing but have done a lot of research. But I have 1 Q is my work light good enough? Its brighter in real life than it looks in the pictures also when i put my hand in front of it I can feel heat so should i move it closer or farther?Also is this a fire hazard? I have 2 fire extinguishers. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z382/Fighop/IMG_20130306_205233_360_zpsabbc8e9c.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z382/Fighop/IMG_20130306_210352_616_zpsbb67d8cf.jpg Rating: 5
