| From what I have heard you use the 13 watt rating to figure your wpg. I have 2 of the 100 watt equivalent bulbs on my 29 in an old reptile light fixture and it is ver bright an my plants are doing great. | |

| dang i was hoping it would be the other way..i would think that would be hard to figure cause it is putting out the equivalent of 60 watts ...13 and 60 is a big diff | |

| the part that dont make sense is the lamp says nothing over 40 watts or if you use a cfb nothing over 13 watts...LOL guess the lamp sees that 13 watts being actually 60 LOL | |
