Low Consumption Lighting Kit (CFL) – Growth & Flowering Mixed Spectrum

The Low Consumption Lighting Kit (CFL) is your ticket to a self-sufficient harvest without the headache of soaring electricity bills or managing impossible temperatures. This all-in-one pack gives you a mixed spectrum bulb—perfect for both vegetative and flowering stages—along with a high-quality reflector, ready to plug in and start growing immediately.

Is heat destroying your indoor grow?

Problem: We know the feeling. You want to grow your own medicine, but you have a small space, or maybe summer is approaching, and you're terrified of turning your grow tent into an oven. Traditional sodium lights generate so much heat that they can burn your plants if you don't have powerful extraction, not to mention the fear of the electricity bill arriving at the end of the month.

Agitation: Ignoring this leads to disaster. Plants stressed by heat stop growing, their terpenes evaporate, and pests like spider mites appear as if by magic. In the end, you spend money on electricity to harvest dry, tasteless buds, or worse, you have to shut down your operation for months because the temperature is unmanageable. It's frustrating to see your effort wasted.

Solution: This Low Consumption Lighting Kit changes the game. By using Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) technology, you drastically reduce heat emission, allowing you to grow in tight spaces or during warmer months without risking your crop. Plus, being a mixed spectrum bulb, it provides the necessary light for the entire life cycle of the plant, saving you money and complications.

Why this CFL kit is actually worth it for you

If you are starting out or have a limited space (like a 60x60cm or 80x80cm tent), this kit is the most logical investment. Unlike HPS systems that require external ballasts and complex wiring, this CFL kit is Plug & Play. The ballast is integrated into the bulb, so you just screw it in and plug it into the wall. It's the definition of hassle-free growing.

Furthermore, its versatility is unmatched. It is not only excellent for a complete cycle in small Grow tents, but it is also the professional standard for maintaining mother plants or rooting cuttings. Its soft light does not stress young plants, ensuring a high survival rate for your clones.

Most important features and benefits

• Mixed Spectrum (Dual): Emits a combination of blue (growth) and orange (flowering) light. Benefit: You don't need to buy or change bulbs when switching the photoperiod; one bulb does it all.
• Low Heat Emission: It runs much cooler than HPS or MH. Benefit: You can place the light very close to the plants (5-10 cm) to maximize lumen absorption without burning the tips.
• Integrated Ballast: The technology is built into the base of the bulb. Benefit: No heavy external transformers, no buzzing, and much easier installation.
• Stucco Reflector Included: Comes with a high-reflection reflector and E40 ceramic socket. Benefit: Directs every lumen towards your plants, avoiding light waste.
• Energy Efficiency: High lumen output with lower consumption. Benefit: A significant reduction in your monthly fixed costs, making your harvest cheaper per gram.

Typical objections and clear answers

It is normal to have doubts when moving away from traditional lighting, but let's clear them up:

• You think that CFLs don't produce dense buds. In reality, while they don't have the penetration of a 600W HPS, in small spaces they produce surprisingly resinous and hard flowers because you can bring the light extremely close to the buds without heat stress.
• You think that it's better to buy a cheap LED. In reality, cheap LEDs often lack a real full spectrum. This CFL kit is a proven technology that offers a reliable spectrum for a fraction of the initial price of a quality LED.
• You think that it covers little space. In reality, it is designed for efficiency in areas up to 80x80cm. If you respect this space, the light distribution is perfect and uniform.

How to use it safely and effectively

To get the maximum yield (grams/watt) from your kit, follow these simple steps:

1. Preparation: Remove the protective plastic from the reflector. Screw the CFL bulb into the E40 socket holding it by the base, never by the glass tubes (they are fragile).
2. Installation: Hang the reflector in your tent using pulleys. Connect the cable to the mains.
3. Distance: This is key. You can and should place the lamp 5 to 10 cm away from the tips of the plants. Check daily as the plants grow to raise the focus and avoid contact.
4. Ventilation: Although it generates little heat, you still need air renewal. A basic extraction kit is sufficient.
5. Cycle: Use 18 hours of light for growth (or for Cloning) and 12 hours for flowering.
6. Care: Do not spray water directly on the hot bulb, as it could break due to thermal shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this kit for autoflowering plants?

Absolutely. In fact, it is an excellent combination. Autoflower Seeds indoor love the mixed spectrum and the ability to have the light close, developing compact and resinous structures.

What powers are available?

We usually offer kits ranging from 105W to 250W. The 105W-125W are ideal for cuttings, mothers, or very small spaces (60x60cm), while the 200W-250W offer excellent performance for flowering in spaces up to 80x80cm or 1m².

Does the kit come assembled?

Yes, the most difficult part is done. We mount the wiring to the reflector socket. You just have to screw in the bulb and plug it in. Easy and fast.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember my first crops in a small built-in wardrobe where heat was my worst enemy. I tried everything, but the sodium turned that space into a sauna. When I switched to CFL mixed kits, everything changed. I stopped fighting the thermometer and started enjoying the process. The plants stopped stretching looking for light because I could put the bulb practically on top of them.

Today, even with all the technology available, I still use these kits for my mother plants and rooting cuttings. They are reliable, durable, and the light spectrum they emit keeps the plants healthy and green without stress. If you are looking for an economical and effective way to grow in summer or in small spaces, this kit is a safe bet. You won't regret it.
