Would this bulb be good as an additional light? Solved

[Coerdringer]

Evening guys. I'm looking for a bulb that would let me add some light to the lowest parts of my growbox, so the lower tops may yield better.
And I found this bulb.

My tent is 40cm x 40cm x 120cm (or 1.31 feet x 1.31 feet x 3.93 feet). Here is one of the recent pics

And now that I think of it, I probbably should find a bulb half that size. But I was considering this one, cause I found a cheap offer(around 10$). There are other versions, for example 6400K, 4000K and 2700K. I thought of buying one probably only for flowering, for the reason I stated earlier.

So, considering the space of my tent, and looking at that photo, should I buy it?

PS. I thought of LEDs, since I always see people using LEDs, but of course, I am(and probably will do) considering the CFLs too.

It may help for supplemental light but I'd save and grab a small led

Oh hi penny. So I should find smaller one.
So maybe something like this? Bulb from the same company.

Although I'm wondering if it is intense enough.

Oh, or this one.

20W 3000K 2050lm
They didn't put any PAR values, but I guess it's since it's mean for usual rooms, and not particularlu for plants. But I think it should fit as suplementary light.


Ooooohhhh, or this!

30W 4000-5000 lm 3000-6000K
120 cobs(is that how is it called?)

38w wouldn't add much not point if u ask me dude

I'd go with a 300 watt led at the least

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

Oh, but my main bulb is a 125W CFL... .-. So wouldn't it be going over the top, if the suplementary is better than main one? And I don't think I can afford 300W LED light. I'll look for some rather 100W LEDs though

If you go with the 100w cfl just make sure it's close enough to do some good .

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

I'll probably place it little over the lower tops(as you can see on that photo). So they get enough light too

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

I'd get them in close with them flowering

Depending on your budget you can get some nice lights under 100 dollars...

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

Well... My budget is lower than 100 dollars. More like around 35 dollars. And I'm looking for suplementary lamp, so it should be rather small than big. I guess I should buy some 50-100W CFL lightbulb, as it would be smaller than LED, and cost less

Agreed! I'm using a 45 watt cfl for supplemental. If you have fixtures and can afford 2 socket splitters, your golden!!!

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

Ohh, 45W? And how much did it increase your yield? I guess good enough, if you're using it. I think finally, I'll go with 65W or 85W(so little stronger), but only one

Re: Would this bulb be good as an additional light?

Alright, I chose my lightbulb, so I guess case solved. Thanks guys
