compact flourescent lights

is anyone using compact flourescent lights
Do they work?
are they better or worse than hps
and whats the conversion rates

HPS are better.

Ok but how are they better?

brighter, made for growing, higher lumens, better wave lenghts,.............

dude.. search around on the site. there are TONs of people using CFLs and HPS's you just need to read.

and the HPS uses less electricity than CFL, around 25% less

I think your confused man.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. The typical HPS produces about 100 lumes per watt. The typical CFL people on this site use produces about 65 lumens per watt.
