    will this basic light work

    I have a vertical screen thats 8.5x13... according to the guidelines, i need atleast 100 real watts. Problem is i cant find CFL bulbs thqt are 50+ real watts so i can put on each side of my screen. The highest i found was 120w equivalent which was 23 real watts. I found these at home depot that are 2700k and 65 rwal watts... will it get the job done?

    Those bulbs are Incandescent, I think. Don't use those.

    Put two 23 or 33 watts CFL floodlights on each side. Or one 50 watt hydroponics CFL with a big reflector on each side.

    This is assuming you are feeding up to 8 cubes a day.
