I have a 24w dulux l light which produces 4800k, i was wondering if this is enough to get plants to grow well. I didnt want to get LEDs because theyre quite expensive, thanks for helping,
Tom
That will not grow plants well, and some will die off completely, you need a 6500k.

That sucks, i cant really afford a 6500k light so i had to get this one
there are some cheaper CFL bulbs on this site that Paul suggested to me as an option.

It will grow plants. Just not as well as a 6500k or so. It will also look a bit red when viewed.

How much are 6500k bulbs over there? I recently bought a 2 pack of 48" 6500k output bulbs for $9. Surely they can't be that much more? Are you buying vivarium/aquarium lights or just regular bulbs form a hardware shop?
I got it from dartfrog.co.uk, it says its a white colour, not red.
I didn't even look to see where you were located, sorry. I don't know for sure if they do international shipping at the place I linked.
Its ok lol, its quite annoying because in the uk theres barely any good places to get stuff from like Joshs frogs and lllreptile
what about Amazon, do they ship internationally? I don't even know, but I am sure you could find 6500k CFL's on there.

On aquatraders, which section would i look on? Im not sure between t5 lights and the led lights, as some of those are like 10000k lol
Go for LED!
