What are good lights for growing?

[crystaliscious]

I wonder sometimes, you guys flowering under t-5's, then you are adding side lighting, and on the floor lighting, and now another bank, but your worried about electricity and heat.

I have 2 banks of them- one on the wall and one above- running 14 tubes mixed colors and temps stay around 80 degrees- it adds up to a little over 65,000 lumens with no noticable change on the electric billâ?¦.

I like HID but the heat gets me and have used it before with a 300.00 increase ( increase) on the utility billâ?¦..that said that is why I stay away from them now. I do agree they have thier place and if I ever get to ( when I get to) be somewhere legal I will absolutely use them in conjunction with the tubes..

Now for LED'sâ?¦.that is my next stepâ?¦.hehehe
