I think compact are more usefull.they are cheaper, and out of your money you can get more lumes. use cool white and warm white 1200 lumes per sqaure foot. (both lights in 1 square foot)
mosaka Reviewed by mosaka on . Compact vs Tube Fluorescent I am working on plans for a veg grwo box and I would like to know if it is better to use compact fluorescent or tube fluorescent lights? It seems that the tube type is approx 40 Watts & 3000 - 3300 Lumans each. Watt for Watt it seems like the tube type has more lumans per watt. So my main question is are compacts better, if so, Why. Any help would be appricated! Thanks Rating: 5
