Good CFL for seedlings

Hey it has been a while since I grew and my memory is a little "hazy." Can anyone recommend a good CFL I can put this things under until they get the 5 true nodes, and then I top them and get 5 more till I plant them outside? I appreciate the help in advance.

any type of cfl that has a rating of 5-6500 kalvins is for vegiing and 2700-3000k for flowering

i use cfls and it works great

Yeah I am not going to use CFL's throughout the grow cycle. Only till after I top and the plant and it is big enough to plant outside.

if you are going to use cfl's throughout your grow cycle, then it is hard to keep them all the same distance away but you want to average about an inch. its not that big of a deal if the plant touches the cfl momentarily as they don't get that hot. so i'm keeping the seedlings an inch away to answer your question.
