mercury vapor lights?

[Volker]

i was just wondering if anybody knows anything about mercury vapor bulbs. if they are suitable for growing or not? and any specs you may have on them? any info would be appreciated. :rasta:

hehehe... Half of my CFLs have the little Hg symbol on them, so I guess technically they're mercury vapour lights.

And I swear by CFLs. In their place. (They'll never perform as well as HPS for larger grows)

So, as with all HID lights, it depends on the spectrum.
