im looking for an alternative to HPS and MH hid systems i normally would go with the classics but ive read that the bulbs need to be replaced regularly (for 50-120 each) and ive found a high output flourescent
Quote:
200 watt Ecolight CFL Fluorescent Lamp
 The Ecolight is a self ballasted cool running fluorescent lamp available in Blue (6400K) and red (2700K).
this looks awesome, cause flourescent bulbs last longer, run cooler, and take much less energy but it also seems almost too good to be true (like the led groww lights that i found previously
also if these arent very good is there a long lasting 4000k hid bulb that anyone knows of? id rather have a nice all around bulb than have to have 2 types to make a full spectrum either that or should i just make a 2 chamber grow room and have a blue spectrum in the veg side and a red in the bloom?
lot of questions but i like to post a bunch of questions in one post rather than make a lot of posts

you can use flouros. but they do loose their magic over time as well...perhaps they last longer...but they do go downhill...
