I made an offer earlier and got no responses. I've got 6 each 23 watt 6400k CFL's like the ones in my picture that are 115vac 60 Hz That I will Give away. Reason being I can't use them here as they won't fire on 50 Hz voltage over here. Compensation for postage can be negotiated.
I've looked at the LED arrays and the price isn't there yet and the energy savings realized still can't compare to a CFL when you are using these seedling lights maybe 3-4 weeks a year! As a year round grow light then you can get a payback on energy savings to warrant the initial layout for the initial cost of the units. Ami
