fluorescent light?
    #5382531 - 03/09/06 06:34 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I have 2 24" 40 watt fluorescent lights in a 4x4 enlosed grow box. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my lights are getting so hot.i have a fan in the box but they still heat the grow box up. i used fluros in the past and they never got this hot ever. the light fixtures were really cheap so this could be a reason, but the lights in the fixtures are GE fluros for plant growth.

There is the pinkish "plant light" type which is just supposed to make your plant 'look' greener supposedly. Cool Blue is a much better choice, they're brighter. Also, I would suggest having ATLEAST 3 pairs of double 40w housings (240w total) for a decent grow and yield. Good luck!
