      "The first Kino Flo unit was created in 1987, during the filming of the movie Barfly. Director of photography Robby Müller was filming in a cramped interior, and couldn't fit traditional lights into the location. In order to work around the problem, the film's gaffer Frieder Hochheim and best boy Gary Swink designed a high-output fluorescent light that had a remote ballast, allowing the lamp unit to become small and lightweight enough to be taped to the wall Hochheim and Swink subsequently created a company, Kino Flo Incorporated, to manufacture and market their innovation to the film industry. The new lights were quickly embraced by cinematographers, and now are considered a staple of a standard motion picture lighting package."

      Only if you can afford them stick with 6500k for veg and 2700-ish for flower

      good luck

        I think someone used this set for lighting one time on GWE. I sorta recall this now far more complicated than a single CFL bulb or t-5 but if it's all ya got...…...go for it !

      If it's what you have available, why not? Personally, I prefer to choose my light based upon my environment.
      A Legend...in his own mind - , 48" X 60" X 80" 2-in-1 Grow Tent, Flower light: Vivaspectra P2500 LED. Veg light: Mars Hydro TS600 & Mars Hydro TS1000 LED lights. Nutrients: GH Flora Trio/Calmag coco/perlite, GH PH Down or pure lemon juice, in case PH down isn't available.

        Thanks guys. I have access to a few units and thought because of the colour temperature and low heat output they'd be ok thanks.
