I'm looking to spend about $50 bucks right now. I have 10 CFL's right now and i just don't feel that they are efficient enough and I feel like I could get more bang for my buck for something like a 4 bulb florescent. Yes/No or any ideas. I have menards, lowes, homedepot and batteries + bulbs all within 2 miles of me as well. I would prefer to just go to one of those places.

Those T8's are only 4100K lamps, you should have at least 6500K, better off look into 'T5's if you're looking for flourescent lighting, might be a little more expensive but well worth it, you won't regret it.

DeeTee is right, it will work but spend the extra few bucks for T5, its a better spectrum for plants and has bulbs for veg and flower.
