i dont just have cfls, a have a metal halogen lamp too, but i dont know the lumen output its like...um, a little thin tube thats 4 1/2 inches long and gets hot enough for me to light my cigarettes on. is this acceptable? its color spectrum, i think, is mostly reds and yellows

You mean metal halide ? If so yes metal halide will grow, however its not a good idea to touch (or even have fingerprints on) a high intensity light. They can easily crack.

masta halogen lights make more heat then light, but if they work they work, i personally wouldnt use them though because of fire hazard.

oh, ok, thanks for possibly saving meh :thumbsup: i dont know if its halogen or halide, i got it off of a brazier lamp

is it pretty skinny? smaller then your cfls if it is then i wouldnt use them (it prolly halogen and ive never tried but ive heard that dont do jack) just go get 1-2 42-45 watt cfls about 3000 lumens each swap em with 1-2 of your other ones and grow some herbs

What is a brazier lamp?

[MastaChronic]

have you ever watched those movies about like ancient romans and stuff and they got these stands with a big bowl at the top filled with oil? thats a brazier, a brazier lamp is basically the same thing, and yeah the bulb is really skinny
