    Is a CFL cabinet @ 525w (actual) 30,000 lumen in a 18"x22" cabinet too many lumen?

    You just wont give up will you, your testosterone and your religious belief in your HPS meme wont let you. What you are stating ... violates the laws of physics, Ill inform the physics community The inverse law applies to all types of light equally. A lumen of cfl is the same as a lumen of...

    "Sorry rollinbud but it's true. The drop off on CFLs is so significant that the HPS beats it out pretty hardcore." That an entirely different matter lumens are lumens and you are wrong about the drop off.... Here have an education: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/isql.html If...

    Ceiling of my closet opens up on it's own... Good for heat you think?

    Yes it will help a lot, might even do the trick. You could always put a fan in it to suck the air through the closet. Just be sure there is room at bottom of closet door to let air in either way. FWIW - If you got animals in your attic you need to get rid of them, they'll eat your wiring.

    Official CFL Positioning Thread!

    That pure bullshit... The only way you are gonna get a hot spot and burn is if you made a parabolic reflector and focused the light in one point like a solar cooker... Its just one of those false memes that gets repeated, usually by noob's. The way I did mine was to cut a hole the same size as...

    Is a 3 Gallon Pot Enough or Should I Buy a 5 Gallon?

    I had a large male plant that was 30" tall and about as wide in a 3 gallon pot and it was no where near root bound. I chopped it about 10 weeks in. Having said that bigger is probably better in your case. 5 Gallon buckets can be had free lots of places, mainly restaurants.

    Considering a CFL grow

    I hang mine from metal eyes and use paper clamps on the cord to adjust the height. Your probably dont want any more than about 75-100 actual watts of light per fixture and I dont mean the y-adapters I mean the main fixture they screw into. I like the idea of being able to move the lights, comes...

    Is a CFL cabinet @ 525w (actual) 30,000 lumen in a 18"x22" cabinet too many lumen?

    Dude, lumens are lumens no matter the source. You HPS guys seem to be all the same and mostly wrong... What you really mean is that the HPS puts out more lumens per watt than the CFL which is true. Just think about what you said, what would be the point of a manufacturer rating a bulb in Lumens...

    I'm new to CFLs and have a 100 watt bulb... Can you help me?

    yes, them or lowes... It may be called a "mogul base" or it might be what is called a mini twist. Just take the bulb with you and tell them you need either an adapter or a socket.

    circuit breaker?

    I am assuming you are in the u.k. since it says 50hz. You got no problems, use the surge strip and the timer.
