60w Plant Bulb???

[garcia031]

How goes it all-

Have a question. I purchased a 60 watt plant bulb for my chams cage which is 4ft high by 2ft wide and i read here that a 6500k flourecent bulb would be fine. What would the conversion be 6500k to wattage????

6500k is the color of the bulb spectrum if you will lower the "k" number warmer the color higher "k" (kelvin) cooler the color (bluer) rating so there isn't a conversion if it said it was manufactured for plant growth that's what it will give you if it's bright enough do you have a pic of the package ? I'm assuming it's a fluorescent bulb?

It'll work but it'll also produce heat so just pay attention to that as well

What would be the best. I have a 100w powersun also, so I don't want to make it to hot.
