| Does the Daylight or Coolwhite or White warm tube generate heat?
|
| Thanks

| | Thanks again Matthew!
| |
| | My shelving unit is 19 3/4 inch wide so I will be able to put 2
| | shoplight together for a total of 4 40 W 48 inch tube!
| |
| | I heard many thing about the kind of fluorescent to use, some said to
| | go with the cheapest one I can find, an orchid greenhouse in Montreal
| | are
| using
| | only Daylight tubes, so , I guess I will do my own experiment!
| |
| | Thank you very much!

| | | Could tell me how wide is a single shoplight?
| | | I`m thinking putting 2 together to get 4 tubes!
| | |
| | | It depends on the ficture. I buy whatever is cheapest at Home
| | | Depot
| (they
| | | run about $10/each). I have had some that have been about 8" wide,
| others
| | | are barely wider than the two tubes.
| | |
| | | So, according to your experience, a mix of CoolWhite and Warm
| | | White is better than a simple Daylight?
| | |
| | | I can't say that yet. I started using the mix this year, and most
| | | of my plants are new. A few are sending up inflorescences, so
| | | we'll see.

|
| First; all Fluorescent lamps generate enough heat to burn a plant if it
| comes in contact with it.
|
| Second let me say shop lights "ARRRGGGUUUH!" it's been my experiance that
| they eat Fluorescent tubes twice as fast as ballasted fixtures and don't
| put out as much light.
|
| to see what I use go to
http://www.graybar.com/ and paste this number into
| the product search box upper left of page SS240120VAD-RM2S35TP-LD-U
| it will open another page and then click on the details button.
| this is just the best example I could find.
|
| Notice it is a 40 watt not a 32 watt fixture. less watts = less light
| You can butt these fixtures against each other to get more light
| I use 4 of these per shelf and can grow & bloom catts as well as Phals.
|
| Hope this helps
