All these Cfls are great :-
I have include some with reflectors to show you which reflectors work best with these lamps NB/ THESE 6100/6500k LAMPS ARE GREAT FOR VEGGING
!!!
Also the good thing with these bulbs is that the ballasts are
built in and
surprisingly they run at touch temp which is great cos it
illiminates the need for a noisy fan etc....
Envirolites are effective, energy-saving, reliable, low heat generating horticultural grow lamps, giving excellent results and lower operating costs for all indoor growers.
Plants need light in the correct spectrum, which is proven to be between
400 & 700 Nana Wave, and
Envirolites produce high output light in exactly this spectrum.
There is no wasted light, unlike HID and HPS lamps were much of the light cannot even be seen or used by the plant.
Envirolites give 100% PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) high output light and are used successfully for all propagation, vegetative or flowering stages.
Envirolites do not generate excessive heat and can be used directly over plants. This is the secret of growing with Envirolites, positioned directly above, just 3 cm or 4 cm, the top of the plants! Unlike HID lamps,
this new generation, grow lamps will not burn your plants.
This is a real advantage compared to growing with HID lamps, as there is no wasted light, which occurs when HID lamps are positioned high above plants. Envirolites give 100 % PAR, correct spectrum, high lumen light directly on top of your plants - where they need it!
Envirolites are available in 2 models:
* 6100K Propagation & vegetative growing.........................................................................THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO VEG - (BLUE SPEC) !!!
* 2700K Flowering stage growing Self Ballasting Lamps - simple to install or wire
100 % PAR in the correct spectrum for growing
Generates much less heat than HID Lamps
Energy saving lamps give lower operating costs
High Lumen Output ~ Long Life Operation
Below I'll add some more pics of some more reflectors that work awesome with these CFL's:-
32x52x18cm
The Powerplant Sun Mate Reflector is great for hobby growers who wish to propagate, grow and flower just a couple of plants, with the use of compact fluorescent lamps to reduce running costs.
These reflectors can support 125w, 200w or 250w compact fluorescent lamps with ease and will deliver all light towards your plant canopy with the closed end dual parabolic reflector design.
The outer body of the reflector is vented for cool running and has two fittings for hanging the reflector easily with jack chain or eazi rolls.
The Sun Mate reflector can be used with a blue CF lamp for vegetative growth keeping a mother plant and cuttings under, or these reflectors are also great used with a red CF lamp for providing additional lighting in large flowering grow rooms, without raising running costs and temperatures too much.
•Designed for optimising the light from compact fluorescent lamps.
•Sturdy design can support 125w, 200w or 250w self ballasted CF lamps.
•Low power usage.
•Use the Sun Mate reflector with blue CF lamps for large scale propagation or early vegetative growth.
•Use the Sun Mate reflector with red CF lamps for flowering plants.
•Can be used horizontally for top lighting and also vertically for side lighting.
•Vented for cool running.
•Convenient on/off switch fitted on reflector.
•Fitted with plug and 4 metre power lead
This reflector is another great design from Powerplant. The Sun Mate Twin CFL reflector is capable of holding two compact fluorescent lamps, either 125w or 250w.
The Sun Mate twin CFL reflector has an outer body that is finished white and has vents on the front and rear and also on the top to allow any heat produced from the lamps to escape quickly and efficiently. Hanging hooks are provided that clip into the reflector body for easily connecting to Eazi Roll hangers or jack chain. There are two seperate On and Off switches on the rear outside of the reflector to allow more control with the two lamps, a cable and plug is fitted to connect to the mains via a timer. The inner of the reflector is partitioned down the middle so it can hold the two dual parabolic reflectors neatly inside, these parabolic reflectors will spread the light evenly over your garden. The E40 lampholders are fitted through holes in the main body making them capable of supporting a 250w lamp with no problem. Another benefit with this reflector is you are able to mix your lamps, a blue and red CFL lamp can be used together delivering a broader spectrum of light for plants that require it
This reflector is an excellent choice to use inside a grow tent delivering a maximum of 500w, keeping heat inside the tent low and also running costs lower compared to HID lighting.
Takes two CFL grow lamps.
Cool running double wall and multiple vent design.
Twin dual parabolic inner reflectors.
Plugs straight into a 13amp socket.
Built in twin independent On/Off switches.
4m power lead and plug.
Dimensions : HWD 180 x 665 x 525mm
And that about it
for the Cfls.........I'll look up some LED info next and then we can decide what will be best for your setup - STELTHY
