27w ( 4 bulb ) Security light 6500k

Saw this light at the store today, wasn't sure if it was hard to get a fixture for it or if anyone had used it before. IMO it looked like a great idea for a micro/stealth grow as supplemental light on the sides/lower sections but I was not sure if anyone else had hear of or used them before.

how many lumens? That may be a big factor in that light.

I also thought about using those for supplementary lighting on the sides , but thought it would use too much space , seems like it would be a decent way to add 108 watts of light though . The 26 watters are ussually between 1700 and 2000 lumen so would be about 6800-8000 added lumen . I`m not to sure about those type of Cfl`s though or if people use them in grows , would probably work fine for vegging though . Clamp reflectors and normal spiral cfl`s seem like a better bet if you are in the States though .

Hey everyone, just a quick bump to see if anyone else has used these before.

Thanks!

I'm sure they would be OK for supplemental lighting and such, about as good as any other 27W Fluoro/CFL but its only 27W, with the added cost of the ballast & fixtures you might as well get a 42-65W CFL, I heard from a few experienced growers that the most efficent CFL's are the 42W & 65Watters, however if you can afford them T5's with the right combination of bulbs are the best fluorescent grow lights, especially when used with HID/LED they produce excellent results. Ive also been hearing some really good things about induction/plasma induction lights, quite pricy though. You can get a 68W TCP CFL in 2700K at Home Depot for $15, that's one of the best deals Ive found and they work great, very bright but the bulbs are about three times the size of a normal incandescent bulb.
