FAQ! How To Save Electricity whilst growing! Or just lower your power bill!
Retired electrician here. I've done many lighting (efficiency) upgrades in factories over the years as technology moved up. I've been using CFLs in the home for a few years now. I did our church's lighting upgrade to 200W CFLs this past year. They do work really well. My home electrical use went down quite a bit, until I started indoor growing. This present crop I am using the flourescent lighting exclusively. My impression is that the HPS lights worked very well but the plants that were under flourescent only did just as well. We'll see.

Just using cfls (13w in most sockets here) has offset the cost of my grows completely(lights that is), now I just wish it would warm up so I didn't need a space heater in the room.

So having to wait 2 seconds for a light to reach its maximum brightness is too long? Slow down people.

It depends on what your pc is running.. Some run at over 1000 watts.But your right! One can be equal to or even greater than a 600 watter.
