At the moment I use a 150w spiral CFL. The glass part is around 10 inches long, its total length is somewhere around 14-15 inches. I could probably go with something about an inch longer, not more.

I micro grow in a restricted space and the bulb is placed horizontally and diagonal of the grow space(1ftx 1ft x 2 ft high), at the top.

Is there any CFL design around 15-16 inches full length, with more wattage than my 150w one?

I know there are a lot of brands for sale online, but not all of them specify the length of the bulb, they rather give the length of the package, and I need more precise info.

Hey there

i have a cabinet about the same size, i use a 125 watt 5U bend, no spiral and is perfect for me.
i use it vertically...check it out in the micro section.

if you want to get a bigger bulb you can go as high as 300 watt, look for
advanced star, plug and grow or hydrofarm.
I think they are all about 4 inches wide and 15 inches long. Just different type of bends. U5 U8 U10 even maybe dont know exactly

make sure you also upgrade your ventilation
because you have a small room and temperature will rise with bigger bulb.

good luck,
Buddy
