Verilux F40T12VLX - 40 Watt Verilux Instant Sun Fluorescent Tube, 48" Length

 (4 customer reviews)

As mentioned in the title, I never give reviews. However, I feel like it is necessary to give high marks to this product as it is working wonders on my indoor herb garden. Though my herbs were doing okay with indirect sunlight, they have now exploded with the use of this bulb. My mint plant has had enormous gains along with my coffee tree and lemon thyme. All other herbs have made gains, as well.

Great product!

Sometimes people try a higher quality light and think the light is not what it is suppose to be. I have found a lot of times when this happens the lgiht is actually alright the problem is the ballast. You change your lights and sometimes the ballast needs to be changed. A ballast can become weak and not properly light the light to it's full range. Try the light in another fixture to see if it's the same or if the ballast are old replace them.

Not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about. These are great daylight bulbs and they are neither dim nor purplish. In fact, I've measured the color temperature in our kitchen, which is lit entirely with Verilux bulbs and, as advertised, it is equivalent to daylight. I've been using these fluorescents for the last eight years, and will continune to do so. They are more expensive than conventional bulbs, but last much, much longer and the light they provide is excellent.
