Is there any type of cfl flood light led bulbs that would work with the scrubber? Possible last longer than 3 month?

No one knows anything on this? The cfl flood light led bulbs are to expensive the try and not work.

3 months for everybody

One "workaround":

1. Use bulbs with twice the wattage
2. Run them for half the hours (9)
3. Around 3 months, when the growth starts to get darker (because the bulbs are getting weaker), start increasing hours until it grows green again. When you reach 18 hours, it's time for new bulbs.

jfenton, I think you confused a couple terms. CFL refers to Compact Fluorescent. You can't have an LED CFL.

But I like the info in SM's response.

As for LED floodlights, I would have to say no at this point. But that's mainly because I haven't seen one built using one. Too concentrated, just like CFL floods. Good possibly for small (narrow) screens.

Yes.... there is no such thing as an LED CFL bulb.

Go to www.1000bulbs.com (http://www.1000bulbs.com) and get exactly what you are looking for in the realm of CFL's... as well as awesome reflectors for less than 6 bucks.
