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.

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
