hey billy i have a question with their wireless system if you get a chance.i wonder how it pairs with a droid based phone or what might happen during a power lose.does the system have some kind of coding that it stores on board so you can continue monitoring after a power failure or will you have to reprogram due to losing your ip address from said power failure.i ask because when i lose power here i lose my ability to look up my security cams until i can get home and look up my new ip address.i had a dedicated ip for a year but it got expensive where im at so i dropped it.i guess i wonder if its internet based at all or runs off phone lines or what lol.I actually have a conference call planned with their tech guys for tomorrow, I was going to ask the exact same questions!
Great minds think alike.

I agree with texas kid, you dont want the gavitas too close to the canopy. I stressed the plants for a run or two having the lights too close. In a 8x8 room I have two gavitas on movers and one induction in between them. Gavita is the only de light I have tried, dont know about the rest of them.
so the "getter" is a component of the lamp that acts as a sort of collection unit to trap contaminates that are discharged over the life and use of the lamp. the majority of contaminant is tungsten. soā¦. i agree with Dennis, more than one getter is going to give less degradation over time and lends itself to a higher quality product. Diameter and length also dictates quality, performance, and life span IMO. good thread, good infoā¦. also good entertainment!!!!dang im getting confused in here.heres what my understanding is with what appears to be the dennis yang bulb.in this pic he shows his lamp(i think) under a phillips bulb with his having 2 round discs to support the arc tube while also reflecting light differently then those pieces the phillips uses.plus his lamp has what i think he calls a getter on both ends of the bulb where the other lamps all use just one.it looks like a little computer chip or mini heat sink.color means alot to our plants,and i have not seen any spectral charts like you see with other hort bulbs,ya know how they give you a graph with color spectrum to show green red and blue?anyhow i look forward to seeing billy's results with nano,im under the impression that it is not a 400v lamp but somewhere around 300v maybe lower?

Yes, the length effect lumens output, the longer the higher ,but PAR will lower,
so Philips E39 400v 1000w with long burner only 1850Ī¼mol/s

In order to Max PAR, using short and fat burner, adjust the gas pressure and sodium amalgam in burner can achieve it. It cost me 2 years to search the balance between PAR and reliability(I ever made the bulb exceed 2200Ī¼mol/s but something wrong with lifespan ).
I am here want to tell some distributors, don't purchase goods only with cheap price from China, treasure your reputation, responsible for your customers.
so they are the same ? yer killin me billy :)I went to my buddies hydro shop who sells all the major brands, and I brought the nano with me.
We went into their little garden room that has lights set up as a demo..
We placed the nano fixture and an epap fixture 59" off the ground and used a 2 foot step stool as a base to sit the par meters on.
We used a sunlight supply par meter and a par meter that has 6 or 7 sensors built into it.
We ran each fixture as is and read the numbers...let them cool down and then switched the bulbs in each fixture.
Basically it.
so they are the same ? yer killin me billy :)
no ill take your word for it billy.if you say its marginal thats good enough for me bro.The nano was just slightly higher, a marginal amount.
I can re do the tests and post some pictures if it's valueable to any one.
I tell you more info, when I made the first 1000w DE, I quit the job and created lumenhort to start my own business, but I still leading the improvement and test those bulbs in factory laboratory, the
bulb exceeded 2100Ī¼mol/s on Nov,2013. They only know I have sold less than 600 bulbs to US market, but they didn't know my father's ballast company has 15 years history in EURO market, EURO greenhouses are using my DE, you may saw the project pics on my website.
The 1000w DE from other companies cannot pass PAR test to entry EURO greenhouse market, but they can go to US market, because customers are not professional enough. Now after I shared my reports, some factories may afraid, some distributors may afraid, someones didn't believe it, but when Utahstate university got the same result as my report, you will know who are telling you the truth.
Like I said, I'm all hears, I'm paying for some testing of my own, out of my own pocket, as I want to know as well.
Billy who are you using for independent testing that has a U sphere?
