light for Cheato

I am currently using a 2x 13w PC over my Cheato. I am woundering I I would use a "grow lamp" from Lowes for this instead.

Thanks

I tried a "Grow Light" and it .... well sucked..

I also ditched the PC's and went to W/mart and bought the energy saver replacement for a standard 90W outdoor floodlight. It uses 17W and is just a CF built into a floodlight housing. Works great.

If your PC is working ok (mine was a 50/50 and did not work well at all) leave it
