| 125 w CFL do not run too hot. still, from your pictures, may be just a little too close. give it 12' from the top of the seedlings. Those are expensive bulbs. have you considered regular 48" fluorescent? dcarch |

| thanks for the info. i have a 48" fluorescent too but i wanted to try one of these out. |

| dcarch, I don't use CFLs for plant growth, but did you mean 12 feet or 12 inches? confused... |

| Ha,ha,ha, 12" is correct. (12 inches). But too late now. sea_of_green has already torn down his/her house to install the fixture 12' above the seedlings. dcarch :-), :-D |
