Latewood's 'little guide' to Lighting...No theory, just info!

I just got a 4' 4 bulb T5 HO for the mothers and clones today and damn thats bright for a flouro. I expect them to do very well for veg. from all I read about them. They're in a 2'x5' closet so HID is out of the question and these are perfect. 20,000 lumens, thats as much as a 250 W MH. At 216 W, a little energy savings and ALOT cooler!!! I love them already.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

LW I was wonderin if you could offer some advice on which way to go

I have a 6' by 10'ish room with a 7' ceiling and I'm not sure if I should go with 600's or 1k

I'm not sure if the 1k will get too hot to work with that low of a ceiling but I wanna make sure I have enough light

I'm looking at the 240v lumatek digital either 600 or 1k

Any advice you could offer to help push me off one side of the fence would be much appreciated ;-)

Pharmacan go with light movers cause if you are trying to create a room that size it will help cut your draw to a more reasonable level but even at that point you better be comin up with some legit reason for drawing even 300 in electricity a month gl and keep us posted with the direction you take
