Default Lighting again!


I agree, alot of marketing hype surrounding 'glow lights'. Do yourself a
favour, if you want to save some cash then call up your nearest Light supply
shop and ask them for flourescent t8 or t12 bulbs along with their ballasts.
Get some reflectors aswell, this will optimise your light output and focus
it to where it needs to go. HTH

Hello everyone!

I finally made my choice about the lighting fixture! I have bought the
ShopLite 48 inches fixture for 2 fluorescent tube( they `re in plastic )
and cost only 15.00 ( we talking Canadian dollar here ! ) :-)

Ok, now, I`m not sure about the fluorescent tube! Which are the best:

they sell :

The DayLight 40 W 48 inch tube 1.96
The CoolWhite 40W 48 inch tube 2.95
The GrowLux 40 W 48 inch tube 6.95

I`m a bit confuse! Which one to get? Should I mix them? The GrowLux is
made for plant but I know some people growing only with DayLight! Can
you help me?

Thanks



Get the cool white and a warm. So called "grow lights" are nonsense.
Regular flourescents are all you need. Just change them out once a year as
their light fades at the ends over time.
