Compact Fluorescent Lighting is commonly used in horticulture. Using very little energy and emitting low heat, these bulbs prove ideal in small areas or for the budget-conscious. CFL bulbs are best used in close proximity to the plant canopy. Keeping the bulb within 10-15cm from the canopy will maximise the efficacy of the light. As with traditional HID lighting, the different bulbs emit different temperatures of light, 2700k (The red/yellow light similar to HPS) and 6400k (The blue/white light similar to Metal Halide). The 2700k bulbs are generally used during the fruiting and flowering stage of a plants life, while the 6400k bulbs are used for vegetative and propagation growth.
