^^^^^ Welcome to the future,lol.While it may have been true with old 600/1000 SE technology it is definitely NOT true with DE technology.I dont think you really get it until you have grown with both,I have and ill take the 600/750 DE over any se 1000,i think id even take the 600 SE gavita over a 1000 after seeing MWD and others killing it with the gavita 6s.Depends if were talking about the new DE systems or the old school HPS.

That is the exact reason they made the 6/750 motherlode.I have 8' too and the gavita 1ks had to be dialed way back all the time but i didnt know any better at the time i bought them.From gavitas facebook page,good point here
i want gavitas so bad - but with barely 8 feet of cieling height there is no way I could run the 1000 and I am hearing now (that just like any switchable voltage ballast) the spectrum is off if you run the 1ks on 600

''The Gavita Pro 750W DE EL lamp for our Pro 6/750 DE FLEX fixture. It is a unique lamp in its class, the first 750W electronic HPS lamp to hit the 1500 micromol level. Many climate rooms do not have the height you need for 1000W lamps, or the crop is too high. A 750W lamp works much more efficient in the 600-825W range than a dimmed 1000W lamp.''
Just about the time we figure it out the new latest and greatest something else will come along,Im already jonesing for CMH's to play with after seeing growers here use them,lol.
I have 8 Gavita 6/750 flex fixtures in my 6.6 foot basement. No problems. Its the reason they made them. Granted...i have to keep plants short and wide. And no real drain tables. I have to use saucers with a shop vac for drain to waste runoff. But the plants are on a simple drip system in coco coir. Anyways...yeah. Gavita 6/750's and Nanolux 600's are a low clearance growers best friend if your tryi g the double ended route.That is the exact reason they made the 6/750 motherlode.I have 8' too and the gavita 1ks had to be dialed way back all the time but i didnt know any better at the time i bought them.From gavitas facebook page,
