LOOk at this BEAST, regular size next to it....
Yeah, it's big. Does it have the same socket at a regular sized one as well? I noticed you aren't showing the threads for the socket.

i have a 250watt in my bloom tent for side lighting. not 250 equivalent, actually 250watts 2700k. it makes a sweet addition to the 400watt hps above. colas are literally 1/3 bigger than the ones on the other side of the tent if i don't rotate. i mix in a few 42 watters on the other side.

im adding co2. more light means bigger flowers as long as you have enough co2. with cfl's alone you don't have enough light to be able to make use of any more co2 than you can find in normal fresh air about 300ppm. with hps you can utilize much more co2 as you increase the wattage of your lamp. with a 400 watt hps it is still not even bright enough to use all the co2 in an environment the is enriched up to 1500ppm, it can only use about 600-800ppm. so, i have in no way maxed out the flowering potential in my own growroom. i still want more light!!!

yes it's about 19" long probably 8" diameter. i also have a 200watt veg spectrum that i have my sourD mommy under. i don't have pics... i've never taken any pictures of my lightbulbs.. maybe after i get batteries for my camera i'll snap a few and post them. i've been meaning to get batteries for a few weeks now. I have a thread on some sensistar that i intended to keep updated but i never remember to go get the damn things so that i can take some pics.
