Got a Growlite OG, Luxor, and Magnum Ocho today for testing. Used a parmeter. Measure the value at 11 spots in a 4x4 square.
Growlite did the worst. Very high par values (1910) right below the bulb but extremely low on the perimeters(125-200). I suppose they'd be good if you were gonna be stacking them right up next to each other but we're hoping to cover approx. 4x4 with each hood. The 11 spots together added up to 4,794.
Luxor did very well. Again, very high values (1800) immediately below the bulb, but still decent numbers on the perimeter (200-300). All 11 added up to 5,585.
The Magnum had the most even spread. Only 1025 in the center, but perimeter values were closer to 400. The total value came out to 4,990, but again all the numbers were far more evenly distributed.
Shop dude fucked up and didn't get the AdjustAwing so I didn't get to test that but I'm leaning towards the ol' Magnum's.

What type of AC unit are you running? That doesn't look like a split system....or is it?
+1 for AAW's.
All is progressing smoothly now.
Finished framing and insulating.
Power upgrade is complete, city should be by in the next 48 hours to connect us.
Then we paint and get started on electrical. I wonder if there's a particular type of paint we should use on the walls. Any painters in the house?
Gonna do a reflector test this week. I had my shop order a Growlite OG and a Luxor. We'll be testing those two, plus a Magnum to see which one wins.
I saw the Growlite OG in person and it looks poorly made (in China). The weather stripping was peeling, the glass was a pain in the fucking ass to remove and reinstall, and their were jagged edges all over it.
The Luxor looks really nice. But holy shit it's a beast. The box is laughably big. You could fit a smart car in there. No joke.
All the tester girls are progressing nicely. Bout 3 weeks in. The FPOG and Kraken look and smell great.
No pictures are lame, I know. I just wanted to drop a couple lines here cause I don't wanna leave folk hanging. I'll try to snap a couple asap to post up. Anyone know of an iPhone app that'll allow me to take flicks in the room without them getting washed out in the HID light?
Peace all.
Mello - Does your rooftop AC exhaust the odor and Co2 into the atomosphere? I thought those packaged rooftop units were bad for growing. Do they keep the odors and co2 inside the rooms?
Have you considered using the Raptor or Grostar parabolic reflector? I've personally seen 2+ a light with both. I used to be hot on the MAGNUM XXXLs but for quality and size the Raptor kills it - may be less expensive too.
