i bought to of those and didnt like them cause they got so damn hot and i couldnt get it close enough for really good lighting purposes so it killed my plant
but i just looked at the box now it says its a 120 so maybe it could work it alo says it makes plants look healthier and greener it doesnt say anything about growing but i can tell you my new set up works great i bought a flouresent shop light fixture from lowes which holds 2 40 lights and the fixture cost 18 bucks and the 2 bulbs were like 5 which are cool blue

GE are normaly cfl strip lights , correct me if im wrong, this is what i use for veggin
2xcool white
2xwarm white
4 x 18w just 72w in total and my plants grow healthy and fast, i use 400w hps to flower tho, it pays to use hps, any1 will agree with that, u can use cfl all way thru but ul get a lot less bud and it may take a little longer to reach its maturity, anyway good luck fella

r u pissed? coz ur spelling is real bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! check ur msgs b4 u actualy post them as their quite hard to understand, ge strip lightz are cfl's mate, any1 using a regular house bulb should be bumed up the arse as their complete idiots lol,
only use cfls or hps or mh......... cfl=flouresant........hps=high pressure sodium.........mh-=metal halide.
hope that helps,
ps im sure i read u were using tin foil, well thats a big NO!!!!! use mylar, tinfoil absorbs heat and causes hotspots on ur plants, meaning ul burn the fuckers to death, pmsl.
