Is this CFL good to start?
OK I checked the site out...
Here is the problem with the lights......
"120V/60HZ/25w=100w/380mA(344)"
These are 25Watt bulbs.
You will need 10 of them to give you a true 250W worth of light.
Also, these are FULL SPECTRUM RENDERING!
Not FULL SPECTRUM!
Big DIFFERNCE.
Thats why they are so cheap.
Next time, spend a few bucks more here and get lights that you dont need 10 of them. Those lights will work, but man you will need a LOT of them.....

One last thing to remember about your lights you bought...
The number one killer of CFL is heat on the ballast. Improper cooling will cut their life in half.
Also, lights of america is also known as a cheap product company in the retailing sector so dont expect to get true spectrum and dont plant on vegging with them more than once.
They will burn dim rapidly.
But good find. Just get a lot of them and keep the ballast part cool.
Good Luck!HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . Is this CFL good to start? hey, the noob is back again. well first of all ive been asking a lot of questions, and recieved replies that truly help. Especially partypokerman... something like that sorrry. But he told me to start vegging, i need like 2 cfls. Well i took his advice and rolled up in home depot and purchased 4 of these cfls. I know their CFL's, but i dont know if their the good CFL's. The cover states: 25w=100w and then it says: soft white light Lumens=1750 watts=25 Rating: 5Any posts made by me are purely fictional in nature and by no means is anything I say to be taken seriously.
