hi guys can anyone give me there opinions on these 300w dual spectrum lights of amazon you can get them with or without reflectors however am more interested in getting 2 of them with reflectors for maximum coverage from what I can see they look like pretty tidy lights but was hoping to here from some cfl growers with similar lights or if I am really lucky some one using the same lights
the price of the light with reflector so you guys can see £51.85
also if you want to take a look on amazon your self it seems to have good reviews

If you have your heart set on CFLs, that seems to be a pretty beastly light for the price, although many will give you shit for it, you can get great results with floros if you you use them correctly. In the past, I had used mainly CFLs with ballasts that I built from HomeDepot stuff and the buds were great. My best advice to CFL growers is to get strains that are known to be dense because if you grow some stuff that can be fluffy or leafy under HIDs, it will for sure be shwag under CFLs. I had a DNA lemon skunk that was virtually indistinguishable in denseness or quality from my buddys 1000w HPS. It just takes more work with LSTing and moving the lights. Your not going to become a kingpin or anything, but you could grow some superb smoke with those if you do your research and put some love into it. Good Luck bro and hope to see somethin from ya in the future,

Oh yeah and FYI, i was doing 4 plants under 3 fixtures with 4 26w CFLs each plus some small 2ft floros for added side lighting, all in all probably 400w so 2 of those would easily be better than what I was runnin.
