a good friend of mine uses these crazy flouresent lights. they are on a 2 feet by 4 feet rack. there are 12 tubes per light rack. when he flowers he puts in two different uv bulbs and leeps the rest the same? he has great results. he keeps the lights about four inches from the plants at all times. there is no heat and they hardly use any power. has anyone else used this method? how were the results? is it worth it?

SunCell looks pertty good too.
They Bulbs work with a Magnetic Type Ballest the bulbs cycle much faster than with regular floro's, Supposedly the plants don't like the 60hz ( ? ) Cycle of normal floros but the faster cycle of the Mag is too high for the plant to notice.
There are other floro set ups. But Sun Cell is the only one I know of with this type of Magnetic Floro.
Floros work, might take a bit longer is all.
They are comming out with some Kick Ass CFLs 250 - 275 watts. As soon as they reach 400 watts look out HPS.

Those ballast you are speaking of are actually electronic ballast. Magnetic ballast give the hum and the light flicker.
These floro's are overdriven to create 1.7 times the light with little heat ! here is a link showing how to overdrive floros

I guess its kind of new, but they also cost alot. $2,500+ for 1 unit..ouch. I could build something that looks better and works as well for alot cheaper.
I have seen the video on www.pottv.com...look under the growshow and episode #10 "The suncell growbox"
