Compact Fluorescent Grow Lamps (CFL) – 85W, 130W & 250W
Compact Fluorescent Grow Lamps (CFLs) are a simple, affordable and energy-efficient lighting solution for propagation, seedlings, cuttings, vegetative growth and smaller indoor growing areas. Available in 85W, 130W and 250W models, these self-ballasted lamps are easy to install and provide reliable light output without the need for an external ballast.
One of the biggest advantages of CFL grow lamps is their low heat production compared to many traditional HID lighting systems. This allows plants to be positioned much closer to the light source, improving light intensity while reducing the risk of heat stress or leaf burn. Their cool operating temperature makes them ideal for propagation domes, cloning stations, small grow tents and confined growing spaces.
CFL grow lamps simply screw into a compatible E40 lamp holder, making installation quick and straightforward. Because the electronic ballast is built into the lamp, there is no additional equipment required. Simply fit the lamp into a suitable reflector, plug it into a standard 240V power outlet and you’re ready to grow.
Available in multiple wattages, growers can choose the lamp that best suits their growing area. The 85W model is perfect for propagation and small spaces, the 130W provides increased light output for larger vegetative areas, while the 250Woffers excellent coverage for larger propagation benches, mother plants or supplemental lighting.
CFL grow lamps are commonly available in both 6400K daylight for propagation and vegetative growth, and 2700K warm white for flowering applications, allowing growers to match the light spectrum to each stage of plant development.
Reliable, economical and easy to use, CFL grow lamps remain a popular choice for hobby growers, hydroponic systems, indoor gardens and anyone looking for a low-cost indoor lighting solution.
