OK, I was in a thread discussion not long ago here on this same issue! Only now I am ready to buy some extra lights! What are your opinion's on this purchase? If you have a better budget buy. Please feel free to share! This thread is focused on Local Hardware Stores, not internet buy sites! Thanks guys! I have found good flowering CFL's, but not veg! Any one know of a good light like this for veg(Flowering light found at Wal Mart)! Is this even a good find? If any thing the equivalence of 2, 26 watters at 1600 lumens(3200) as opposed to 1, 55 watter at 3,860. The 55 watter would be cheaper to run, but not by much! Right? Also the 55 watter only takes 1 outlet as opposed to 2, 26 watters taking up 2 outlets!

P.S. The coil lighting part on this bulb is the size of a pop can, not including the ballast! Way bigger then a standard sized 26 watt CFL bulb!

home depot makes some 27w 5500k cfl's - i've found them to do a very nice job of vegging
bought them 1 1/2 years ago, all are still being used and still look damn bright
