They are using a 100W CFL...lol not a common house fixture light. They would typically be for outdoor flood lights or garages. Wattage is the key here.

And as for replacement times...mine are 4 years and counting at 8 hours a day and still doing fantastic. Once again though...mine are actual grow CFL bulbs. Not common house bulbs.

I currently use a Par20 6w LED from HD which is actually growing it surprisingly well. I have a par38 daylight over it previously and it grew very well, the bulb died recently so I just swapped in the par20 I had laying around. Given the current growth I don't feel the need to swap it just yet.

Dude 'don't know where you get the 100W CFL, they used 23W CFL on that experiment.
