I did not know that you can use lower wattage bulbs. That's pretty cool.Get an electronic ballast (not magnetic). I'm partial to Solis Tek, but there could be plenty of other decent brands. You can use both MH and HPS in them, just adjust the voltage for the bulb. A 1000W ballast can also do 600 and 400 bulbs.
If you’re going with hid lighting luxx seems to be the best company out right now. They just put up a par map showing that their 750w hps light has the same average par as the gavita de 1000w. I have both gavita and luxx hps lights and I am planning on swapping all of my gavita lights for luxx because I’ve seen a noticeable difference between the two
The light I have are all de hps. The ones in the par map, both are de 1000w hps lights, the luxx is just dimmed to 750 for the test if I read the post correctlyAre these DE or SE?
I also just came across the Phlizon Cob LEDs. They dont seem to bad. Definitely not top of the line but comparable to the Optic 4, 6, and 8. And for a third of the price.
Isn't that the way it always goes. I'll take just a couple hits... And before you know it 4 grams are gone LOLI’ve got cobs and they are pretty impressive but I need to add more.
The thing that really sucks is they (my lights and Philizon cobs too) have built in fans that blow heat into your tent and it’s been a bitch to deal with cause I can’t just vent it directly out but I’m dealing.
if you went quantum board led you could keep the driver outside of the tent to help with heat.
But I don’t think heat will be an issue for you in your garage set up so you could go anything the worlds your oyster man. Unless you don’t like oysters then pick something.
I think led will be cheapest long run but I might be wrong.
I’m rambling. I didn’t mean to finish the whole joint.
And half the time its because ive simply misplaced itIsn't that the way it always goes. I'll take just a couple hits... And before you know it 4 grams are gone LOL
I was on the fence like you as well, get 2 HID or one LED. I tried to read all about and convinced myself that even tough its a bit more expensive LEDs would be better. The options I looked at were 2 1000W HPS-MH or 1 iL8X from Iluminar. I decided on the iL8x and glad I made that call. Make sure you look them upLooking for 2 nice 600 or 1000 Watt HID Grow Lights. Looking to possibly run 2 HID in a 4x10x8 grow room instead of LED. I can get 2 HID lights for less than 1 LED grow light and still have money left over.
What is a good brand?
What do I look for in a HID?
What reflector is best? (I was looking at air-cooled)
