What makes the relatively inexpensive compact fluorescent light under review stand out is the fact that it produces 1, lumens at just 26 Watts of power consumption, making it equivalent to a Watt incandescent bulb.
Despite the popular idea that lumens have nothing to do with how much light your plants will be getting, the number is more or less indicative of the intensity of lighting.
With a color temperature of 6, Kelvins, this bright CFL is great for nurturing your weed through the vegetation stage, which is when it needs intense cool light.

The model under review stands out among the rest of this list due to its low wattage. This CFL bulb only consumes 5 Watts while generating an equivalent of a 25 Watt incandescent lamp, i.
This makes it ideal for marijuana clones as these generally require very gentle light. In terms of color temperature, this is a soft white 2, Kelvin CFL, which again is good for clone nurturing. Like most good-quality bulbs of the kind, this lamp is rated to last 10, hours. This is a highly versatile Medium Base model that will fit any E26 socket. A more compact size would be a welcome improvement, though, especially for a low-lumen lamp like this.

Made by the highly specialized Agrobrite see above , this product is a breeze to set up as it comes with a junction box and even hanging hardware included. The system comes with a powerful Watt bulb that generates about 7, lumens of daylight white light. Larger outage bulbs of up to Watts can be used, too.
One benefit of the system is that is features a tubular-shaped bulb, meaning the distribution is light is more homogeneous compared to the traditional spiral shape. CFLs differ in wattage, brightness usually measured in lumens , and color temperature.
What you should look for is an energy-efficient bulb that will consume little power and generate bright enough light. Unfortunately, the lumens parameter is more about how visible the light is than how much use the plant can make of it. This influences the choice of color temperature, too. Please mind that clones, i. While other technologies can be used, compact fluorescent lights are known to deliver a number of benefits.
They are also extremely easy to use and set up and can be found virtually anywhere, which makes them a good option for beginner cannabis growers.

Compact Fluorescent Plant Grow Lights. Until recently, fluorescent grow lights have had a low output and have been too big and bulky to be of much use as a grow light for anything more than starting seedlings.
These new compact fluorescent or CFL shown below and T5 full spectrum fluorescent lights shown on next page have changed that. They are growing in popularity for both propagation and plant growth.
These lights are energy efficient and extremely effective especially when used in numbers. While not quite as efficient as HID lights, fluorescents have better color rendering properties more of the light emitted is used by the plant and produce much less heat when compared to HID lights. This allows them to be placed closer to plants within a few inches greatly decreasing lumen loss from the bulb to the plant.
This grow light comes with a full spectrum 40 watt CFL bulb and 6' power cord. The k bulb provides increased output in the red spectrum which promotes flowering in plants. The K bulb is full spectrum bulb which promotes overall plant growth.
Bulbs are lumens Equals W incandescent bulb. Average CFL bulb life is 10, hours. Bulbs fit into a standard medium socket.
