Smelly Joe Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hey guys Was busy looking for something and came across this light I got a long time ago. Never used it cause I wasn't sure if it was cost effective at that time. Well I still don't.... Do any of you guys know if this light is the same as a CFL maybe or is it more towards the heavy pullers??? I need a lights for my cuttings and its 60w......

Smelly Joe Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Oh yeah. The pics..Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The ballast is capable of 60w, not sure whether that means the light will actually pull a full 60w though.It's a CFL. Should be good for cuttings / clones. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 The input is 220v and output is 500V. That light gets insanely bright and only pulls 0.014 ampsSent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer420 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Yeah, it goes so much deeper, spectrum etc. Reminds me of trying to grow under 'white' led many years ago, explosive stretch and fallover death Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Well I had it and I tested it. Its a great light for light. Not entirely sure what the light spectrum is but it will be used for something else.Gonna use it on seeds to germ to see what it does. Saw a bigger one at a wine farm last week being used as a spotlight alongside a 400w MH and a LED Spotlight. Thing is insanely bright Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Induction florescent. It uses electro magnets to accelerate the particles. It is the same as florescent light. It is about 3-5% more efficient than normal florescent tubes. The cost does not justify the use this not used more commonly for growing. But if it's lying around it should be perfect for seedlings and clones. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Meaning it's expensive to run ??? Only pulls 0.29 Amps. Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smelly Joe Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thought so. I always doubt stuff even if tested with Amp meter etc. Just always great to hear another growers opinion...It's currently moving its way into the veg cab (mentally). Was thinking of using it for the clones but that is just way to bright (personally) . Rather ended up pulling in some wire and hooked up a 14w cfl. I'll maybe try it out to get the cuttings stronger after transplant.....Thanx for input Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
